Memories of Corn
KOIK Contemporary — Mexico City, Mexico
Roma Norte, Mexico City, Mexico
A multisensory ritual rooted in the ancestral and cultural memory of corn, weaving storytelling, food, and material transformation into a participatory experience. Curated by Lester. Chefs: Miguel Wheelock (Saltillo), Dominique Van der Linden (Berlin–Mexico), Sara Medina (Monterrey). Music: Olin Mendoza (Mexico City, handpan).
This ritual sets the tone for my upcoming exhibitions at KOIK Contemporary and Salon ACME during Mexico City Art Week 2026. Memories were written on corn husks, tasted through dishes, and embedded into bioplastic forms.
