This year, the event will have the "Avenida de los Artistas" featuring the work of ten artists curated by Luis Villanueva. Both events will feature a Cathedral Art Exhibition featuring the work of Artist of the Year, Sabino Guisu’s “Zapotec Death Poems” @sabinoguisu. The work of Guisu, offers a vision of transculturation and spiritual rupture that exists between the individual and his environment, achieving a deep personal reflection. The geometric patterns found in the ruins of Mexican pyramids appear regularly in his work, death and chance are themes to which he always returns.
