WENDY CABRERA RUBIO
In my humble opinion, there are few artists cooler than Wendy Cabrera Rubio. Her art has been exhibited in some of the world’s best museums and galleries, like the Museo Jumex and anonymous gallery. She uses pop cultural references—riffing on objects like old Disney film posters—to comment on the politics of the frenzied world we live in today. Paint and canvas don’t interest her; she’s an artist who uses materials like felt and velvet, and whose works sometimes stretch outside the four sides of a rectangle. Her vibrant and beautiful work is completely relevant to the world today, and she operates outside all of the norms.
Wendy also lives in Mexico City, one of the most exciting cities for contemporary art today. She even put together a guide—available in both English and Spanish—of insider spots she loves in CDMX. Trust, you won’t find any well-tread tourist spots like tHe Frida Kahlo house here. Instead, you’ll find recs for what Wendy calls the “very, very, very south” of Mexico City to get the best drinks and cured meats. Enjoy!
