A global platform for art and design

With over 200 galleries from 30 countries, ZⓈONAMACO 2025 continues its cosmopolitan commitment by structuring its program around five themes: Contemporary Art, Modern Art, Design, Photography, and the Antiques Fair. This edition highlights the interactions between the Mexican avant-garde and emerging art scenes.

A committed art direction

Under the direction of Direlia Lazo, this edition explores the diversity of artistic practices. ZⓈONAMACO SUR, led by Manuela Moscoso, examines postcolonial narratives and the dynamics of the Global South, while ZⓈONAMACO EJES, under the guidance of Bernardo Mosqueira, addresses the notion of freedom with significant works.

In the Arte Moderno section, Esteban King revisits 20th-century icons and their influence on Latin American art. Cecilia León de la Barra, head of Diseño, highlights a design that combines innovation and traditional craftsmanship.

Recognition of talent

The ZⓈONAMACO Awards recognize the most outstanding artists and projects. Among the awards are:

Erarta Foundation Award (USD 100,000): awarded to the most impactful work.

Tequila 1800 Colección: showcasing emerging artists.

AXA Art Award: dedicated to Mexican women artists.

Casa Wabi Residency Award: offering an artistic residency in Oaxaca.

A unique musical immersion

With Dancing Society®, the fair offers a unique sound experience led by Francesco Tristano and Guti. Conceived by Emilia Hernández, this project fuses classical piano and electronic music in an immersive performance.

A city in full swing

ZⓈONAMACO extends beyond the fair's walls with Art Week ZⓈONAMACO, involving more than 90 cultural institutions. Exhibitions and installations take over major venues such as the Museo Tamayo, the MUAC, and the Museo Kaluz.
