According to Zapotec belief, the gods bestowed upon humanity the five senses: sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing. These gifts have since woven themselves into the collective memory of the Mexican people.
Each piece in the exhibition will appeal to a specific sense of the audience, linked to an aspect of Mexican culture.
From one piece to the next, visitors will be able to explore a vast array of images and colors, scents, flavors, materials, and sounds. These awakened senses will serve as the key to unlocking memories.
A sensory pause that serves as an opportunity to reconnect with the body.
