“Arte Diseño Xicágo”

The National Museum of Mexican Art explores nearly a century of cultural exchange between Chicago and Mexico in “Arte Diseño Xicágo.” Examining works made between the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the Civil Rights Era of the 1970s, the exhibit displays work made by Mexican artists who came to Chicago and Chicago artists who visited Mexico. The resulting collection showcases how traditions were fused by artists like Robert Natkin and Errol Ortiz, arguing that creativity knows no borders.
