Denial and Utopia, the 1st National Performance Art Show at Ex
Teresa, seeks to create a highlighted platform for mexican performance artists.
Mexico, with its rich cultural heritage and an impressive diversity within
performance art, has much to offer, but the international visibility of mexican
performance artists is yet to be developed to its full potential. Originally
based on an idea by former director Carlos Jaurena, it will be a biannual
event, taking yearly turns with the already well established International Performance Festival at Ex
Teresa Arte Actual. This first edition of the show will focus on the critical
reflections of 12 selected artists regarding different aspects of the
experience of being mexican.
