What to expect from Images of Mexico
We have three guidelines for our

Purpose

We amplify voices and projects showcasing experiences, knowledge, and issues across diverse geographies, time periods, and communities in Mexico.
Interdisciplinary dialogues
We generate spaces in which the arts and design discuss and are enriched by specialists in the social sciences and humanities.
Binational relations
We create and strengthen binational ties between Mexican, U.S., Mexican-American, and Chicano scholars, students, and artists.
