Shaped in Mexico, Bargehouse

The fantastic exhibition Shaped in Mexico returns to London after sell-out show in 2014 with 32 fresh-faced artists all inspired by or working in Mexico. Designed to engage audiences with the fiery Latin American country, there are a huge variety of works on display, from painting and sculpture to video and performance. Stretching over the Bargehouse's four floors, you'll love the tremendous artwork and programme of talks and events which bring Mexico to life.
Highlights
You'll find the artists on display range from young and emerging to seasoned professionals. The big names to watch out for include Alejandro Fournier, Mauricio Cervantes, Jacobo Alonso and Alexandra Clark, who all exude a flavour of Mexico. We are also particularly excited to see Franciso Toledo's tremendous installation, which is inspired by the bizarre mass disappearance of 43 student teachers from Ayotzinapa in 2014. Government conspiracy or horrendous accident, the jury's still out - but we are curious to see the artistic response.
From ancient ritualism to contemporary environmental and social issues, this rich exhibition will delight and inspire you to hop straight on a plane out to central America.
