About
MexFest turns memories of home into a bilingual story circle at Socrates, with writing, conversation and a free RSVP option.
A personal object that evokes home anchors this MexFest session at Socrates Sculpture Park. Artists Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel Atrib and Mónica Palma use bilingual story circles, writing and conversation to explore migration, care and belonging. It is a way to take part in a shared art practice built from the stories participants carry.
What to expect
Join a bilingual group session centered on personal objects, memory and shared stories. Writing and collective conversation connect individual experiences of home, labor and care. This is the second offering in MexFest’s three-part Cuerpxs en Resonancia series.
