This week, we let ourselves be inspired by the words of Rufino Tamayo: "I am very Mexican, it's hopeless. Wherever I've been, what feeds me is Mexico." The local agenda celebrates that deep connection with what surrounds us: from new exhibitions that re-signify the urban space, talks and dialogue tables, to bazaars that exalt national creativity. In each event, Mexico is more than a place; it is a state of mind, an inexhaustible source of inspiration that connects us with what we are and what we dream of being.
