Modernist chimeras Mario Pani and Guillermo Zamora
Temporary Exhibition
Modernist Chimeras: Mario Pani and Guillermo Zamora are a project of the National Directorate of Cultural Development, organized by the Cultural Heritage Office of Tecnológico de Monterrey in conjunction with the National Museum of Architecture of the National Institute of Fine Arts. It brings together the exceptional vision of Guillermo Zamora, a photographer who not only documented and preserved the memory of architectural projects but also revealed, with his expert eye, the visionary architecture of Mario Pani. The exhibition, featuring 72 digital reproductions, invites viewers to revisit some of the architect's most emblematic projects, integrating Zamora's lens into a narrative that engages with the urban utopias of Mexican modernism.
The exhibition will be open to the public from December 11, 2025, to May 3, 2026. For more information, please see: National Museum of Architecture in the Palace of Fine Arts of the INBAL.
Migrants. A story of two hearts
Temporary Exhibition
Migrants: A Tale of Two Hearts invites reflection on the migratory experience as a profound human process that transforms territories, identities, and communities. Throug works by Héctor de Anda, Erika Harrsch, Julio Morales, Mónica Lozano, Miguel Rodríguez Sepúlveda, Mabel Weber, and Sisel Lan, along with pieces from the Tecnológico de Monterrey cultural heritage collection by artists such as Manuel Bravo, Pablo O'Higgins, Graciela Iturbide, and Carla Rippey, the exhibition explores the emotions that accompany displacement -- loss, memory, the body as territory, and the non-place -- to create a space for empathy and collective healing. Curated by Rocío Guerrero and co-curated by Lizette Zaldívar and Mabel Mauricio. Museography by Gabriel Vargas Flores. On view at the Monterrey Campus Art Gallery, the Convention Center, and the Mexico City Campus Art Gallery.
The exhibition will be open to the public at the Monterrey Campus from November 24, 2025, to June 2026 and at the Mexico City Campus from December 4, 2025, to July 2026.

Moving in the Borderland, 2019
Moving in the Borderlan is a video installation comprised of three photographic prints, a video, and a participatory, process-based installation developed by Erka Harrsch in collaboration with students from various universities. The work begins with strips of hand-painted camvas, one side of which is painted to resemble the border wall between Mexico and the United States. On the other hand, students draw or write what migration means to them today. Work functions as a living palimpsest, constantly expanding, revealing how borders, thoug seemingly regid, are permeable to human stories. In this edition, presented at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey Campus, the piece was created by students from the Arts, Object, and Fashion Concentration of the School of Architecture, Art, and Design.
