The story of Mexico City is often told as a series of cataclysms and ruptures - Conquest, Revolutions, earthquakes, and modern development. But it is also a city of layers where time intermingles. Through this program, students will explore how art and everyday life offer windows for looking across time. How can the experience of moving through a city help one understand what changes over time as well as what persists? How can speaking with local artists and artisans show the city as a lived practice and site of intervention? And how can the ongoing life of the city be recruited in new visions of the future?
