The event coincides with the meeting between King Felipe VI and President Sheinbaum.
On Friday, Casa de Mexico in Madrid inaugurated the group exhibition “Latency,” which brings together five leading figures in contemporary Mexican art: Perla Krauze, Knut Pani, Cristobal Ascencio, Flor Pandal, and Andrea Bores.

Curator Karmele Rodriguez explained that the exhibition, which will be open until August 30, focuses on the “empty space” between what we want to remember and what we actually remember, an interval she interprets as a place of possibilities and creation.
The works of Perla Krauze and Knut Pani focus on materiality, showing memory as an accumulation of strata and experiences. In contrast, Andrea Bores works with matter that draws on memory to recall its own structure, generating a dialogue between the physical and the symbolic.
The third narrative of the exhibition presents memory as a fragile act, exposed to loss but sustained by recollection. Here, the works of Cristobal Ascencio, who rescues images with digital errors, and Flor Pandal, who captures memories arising from meditation and introspection, stand out.
Inauguramos “De una dimensión llamada México”, que reúne a 30 artistas para explorar la moda mexicana como expresión de una identidad barroca, donde mundos ancestrales, virreinales, y contemporáneos convergen en un sincretismo singular.#DiplomaciaPúblicaMX#DiplomaciaCulturalMX pic.twitter.com/Z1sxIzDJ1Z

The text reads, “We inaugurated ‘From a dimension called Mexico,’ which brings together 30 artists to explore Mexican fashion as an expression of a baroque identity, where ancestral, viceregal, and contemporary worlds converge in a unique syncretism.”
The exhibition is part of the Mexican tradition of linking art and memory, where the personal and the collective intertwine. In Mexico, memory has been a recurring theme in contemporary art, from the exploration of identity to the preservation of cultural heritage.
The choice of Madrid as the venue also reflects the Casa de Mexico’s commitment to building cultural bridges between Europe and Latin America.
The opening of the exhibition coincides with the upcoming meeting between King Felipe VI and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico City. Both initiatives reflect an effort to build cultural and political spaces between Spain and Mexico after years of diplomatic tensions.
