The first show in the cycle, “Present – MXCD 01”, offers an instant geography of the current panorama of design in the megacity. It gathers both young and established designers, as well as artists, makers and informal creators, emphasizing the diversity and contradictions of the local creative and productive scenario. The exhibition includes a series of photographs by Melba Arellano, and an audacious exhibition design by emerging architecture office, Palma.
