This building, built within an area of 5,130 m2, will be inaugurated on Saturday, January 19.
The event will be attended by the Secretary of Culture of the Federal District, Elena Cepeda de León, and Gregory Colbert, artist responsible for the photographic exhibition "Ashes and Snow." With the photographic exhibition of the Canadian artist Gregory Colbert, “Ashes and Snow”, this Saturday, January 19, the Nómada Museum will be inaugurated in the capital's Zócalo, the first gallery built with recyclable materials, which has among its attractions the possibility of moving to any part within the city.
The work of the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, the Nomad Museum is made from bamboo poles, which is why it is also considered an excellent attempt to draw attention to the state of ecology worldwide.
Colbert's exhibition consists of a set of 100 photographs taken around the world over 16 years, which the artist used to portray an unconventional group: animals of different species, characteristic of places such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, Ethiopia, Namibia and Burma, among others.
In addition to observing these beasts in artistic poses, the public will have the opportunity to enjoy additional materials to the exhibition, consisting of videotapes recorded by Colbert himself during his travels.
