“Our aim is for the pop-up to be a laboratory of ideas for a new type of design thinking,” says Jana Perkovic, Editor & Program Curator at SPACE10. “We are excited to bring both local and international thought leaders on stage and learn from the design community of Mexico City. Our hope is that the program in Mexico will provoke our collective imagination and help us qualify new opportunities, build new partnerships, and design new solutions, all while emboldening people from around the world to take action together for positive change.”
Beyond the two-week pop-up in Mexico City, SPACE10 is currently conducting on-ground research in Latin America surrounding the essentials for a better everyday life as well as working with new partners and collaborators. SPACE10 will also host a six-week residency for five designers based in Mexico.
Together with SPACE10 and material translator Seetal Solanki from Ma-tt-er, the residents will explore and investigate local biomaterials in Mexico. Taking place both online and in Mexico City, the residency is planned from 28 February to 9 April 2022. The deadline for applications is 3 February 2022.
“We are excited for SPACE10 to reside in LOOT, as it is a venue that allows us to open the doors to the community, as well as house our team from Copenhagen to work and engage with new collaborators and partners,” says Kevin Curran, Spatial Design Lead at SPACE10. “We feel Mexico City’s progressive and dynamic design scene is the perfect playground for us to connect research experts and creatives from around the world to explore and rethink the role of design.”
Over the years, SPACE10 has popped up in cities including New York, London, Shanghai, Nairobi, and most recently Delhi. The Mexico City Pop-up will serve as a platform to bring people together, as well as a place to challenge ideas, learn, and through conversations, together unfold new design approaches that can help solve real problems with real people.
The pop-up will be open from March 26, 2022 until April 9, 2022, with daily programming at LOOT, located at Guanajuato 227, Roma Nte.
