Journey

January 29 – February 4

Mexico’s art scene takes center stage at the beginning of 2027. 

This journey brings together two destinations and two defining moments: the inaugural Yucatán Biennial and WAY in Mérida, followed by Mexico City Art Week, when the capital becomes one of the most dynamic meeting points for the international art world.

The journey

We will begin with three days in Mérida, from January 29 to 31, coinciding with the inaugural Yucatán Biennial and WAY – Week of Art Yucatán. Through the Biennial, galleries, artists’ studios, private collections and special access, we will discover the region’s growing contemporary art scene.

Preguntas frecuentes

No. El viaje une arte contemporáneo, patrimonio maya, arquitectura y gastronomía yucateca. Basta con la curiosidad.

¿Qué es VOCAL?

Es el título de la primera edición de la Bienal de Yucatán, que se celebra del 26 de noviembre de 2026 al 28 de febrero de 2027, dirigida artísticamente por Abraham Cruzvillegas. Su eje es la lengua: los idiomas, lo escrito, lo hablado y las distintas formas de comunicación.
