Design Week Mexico
In just a few days, Design Week returns to the city with large-scale aesthetic interventions.
The event is a non-profit organization with the primary goal of creating a platform in the country to promote design culture among society members, through a week full of events.
Architects, industrial and graphic designers, interior design enthusiasts, students, and the general public are invited to this grand celebration, which will take place from October 10 to 14. Some of the participating venues include the Tamayo Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Lincoln Park, the Chapultepec Cultural Forum, and Design House.
This is an international event that places Mexico and its participants among the world’s design capitals, such as London, Paris, Milan, New York, Los Angeles, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires.
Innovation, creativity, technology, and craftsmanship are showcased through various expressions of architecture, cinema, gastronomy, fashion, and art. The mission of the event is to promote creativity and design as values that contribute to social, economic, and cultural development.
Each year, DWM invites a guest country to create a multidisciplinary collaborative space with the local and international community.
