This Saturday you will find a place in the CDMX where you can remember them and admire a private collection of Mexican cardboard pieces, we tell you more about the Judas that you will see in the Bazaar del Sábado!
The first thing you should know is that this Saturday Bazaar will take place on 
April 19 from 12:00 noon at 
Plaza San Jacinto 11, in the traditional neighborhood of San Angel.
This free admission edition will celebrate a special day dedicated to Mexican traditions on the occasion of Saturday of Glory, and you can enjoy a marimba performance and also marvel at some dancers wearing spectacular masks.
All this in addition to being able to walk the aisles of the bazaar where every Saturday you can find design products, art, gastronomy and lots of Mexican creativity.
However, something you won’t find anywhere else is the unique exhibition of a private collection of Judas, emblematic figures of Mexican popular art that represent one of the richest legacies of cultural syncretism in our country.
More about the Judas private collection at Bazaar Sábado
The Judas en el Bazaar del Sábado exhibition is made up of large-format pieces created by the renowned artisan Pedro Linares López, whose work has been fundamental in the consolidation of Mexican cartonería as an artistic expression.
This collection has been carefully guarded by Bazaar del Sábado and is considered an artistic collection of great historical and cultural value.
The Judas are figures known for their great technical complexity, symbolic character and great visual strength. They symbolize the betrayal and punishment of Judas Iscariot, and are traditionally burned or destroyed on the Sabbath of Glory as part of rituals of symbolic and social character.
You will be able to admire them only this Saturday, as they will be exhibited to the public with the purpose of preserving and sharing the Mexican tradition.
