Creación en Movimiento (Creation in Motion) presented work produced by fellows of the 2019–2020 generation of Jóvenes Creadores, Mexico’s national grant programme for artists aged 18 to 34, who spend a year developing a project with funding and guidance from established artists as tutors. Bringing together architecture, applied arts, visual arts, new technologies and, for the first time in the exhibition’s history, popular arts and traditions, it filled twelve rooms of the Centro de la Imagen and was part of the Third Jóvenes Creadores Encounter. Opening in the midst of the pandemic, after an encounter held almost entirely online, the show offered a rare chance to meet the work in person, and a cross-section of new art being made across Mexico, shaped by the geography, climate and customs of each region.
