It’s time to light up the dance floor! January’s Museum Night will feature a sonidero dance held in the middle of the new exhibition of Mexican signs. The musical and urban culture of Mexico City will come together in a fun-filled party that you can join without paying admission.
The event will take place at the José María Velasco Gallery, located at Peralvillo 55, Colonia Morelos. Tell your dance partner, because you already have plans for next Wednesday, January 28, starting at 6:30 p.m.
This cultural space will be filled with energy and music, with Mosaico Sonidero, DJ Chiakka, Malhabido, and Sonido Sabotaje providing the soundtrack. And although dancing is reason enough to attend, it’s not the only activity on the program.
As you probably already know, the gallery’s current exhibition is Los rótulos no deben morir(Signs Must Not Die). It is an exhibition that highlights the importance, culture, and history of the signs we find in businesses, stalls, and streets throughout our city.
There are around 100 works showing signs in different settings, such as pulquerías (bars serving pulque) and the Tepito neighborhood.
So, in addition to sonidero dancing, during Museum Night you can discover the culture surrounding signs, as well as a graphic project by artist Mariana Delgado. As if that weren’t enough, you’ll also learn some brush lettering techniques.
In any case, we remind you that Museum Night is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the month, as numerous venues offer special activities. You can check out what other venues have to offer here.
