For one week each year, Mexico City transforms into the epicenter of the global art world. Zona Maco, Latin America’s largest art fair, alongside the increasingly influential Material Art Fair, has become a magnet for collectors, curators, and gallerists seeking new markets and fresh talent.
This year, a significant American presence — particularly from African American galleries — highlighted Mexico City’s growing role as an economic driver and international investment hub.
“Mexico City Art Week was great,” said visual artist Tariku Shiferaw, who attended for the first time. “I loved the quality of works at Zona Maco and the spirit of Material Art Fair. This entire week was a vibe. I especially enjoyed the performance by the Sudanese artist Ahmed Umar at the Museo Universitario del Chopo.”
The fair has not only showcased Latin America’s artistic dynamism but has also drawn heavyweight American galleries, including Mariane Ibrahim Gallery and Sean Kelly Gallery, to its thriving collector base.
