Vision & Tradition, Design Week Mexico's residency program unites designers and artisans in a unique collaborative experience. This year's event features Argentina as the guest country, with special participation from several Mexican states, yet to be announced. This combination allows for a rich cultural exchange between designers and artisans from Mexico and Argentina.

The result of this collaboration is presented in the iconic crescent moon of the National Museum of Anthropology, where traditional techniques and contemporary approaches converge. The resulting pieces reflect the cultural richness, innovation, and collective talent of all participants.

The Vision & Tradition working sessions will take place from July to August 2025 in several municipalities across Mexico.

Since its inception, Design Week Mexico has had the mission of promoting Mexican design through dialogue with the creative and cultural industries of other countries. Argentina, as a guest country, working hand in hand with Mexican artisans offers a tremendous opportunity to create a dialogue between cutting-edge design and craftsmanship, our country's artistic and cultural heritage.

Visits to the artisans' workshops, the interaction, and the work sessions generate each of the pieces, which are the result of the participants' awareness of each other's work. Working together in an environment of absolute respect and feedback, design philosophies merge, resulting in the creation of unique pieces.

The realization of Vision &Tradition is possible thanks to the valuable support of the National Museum of Anthropology and the solidarity of the Art and Culture Department of the Ricardo B. Salinas Pliego Center. The collaboration with Argentina was thanks to the support of the Cultural Section of the Embassy of the Argentine Republic in Mexico.
