Hecho En Recuerdo
Chapultepec, Mexico City, October 7-12, 2025 - Of Threads introduces inaugural international Mexican-American exhibition: ‘Hecho En Recuerdo’ (Made in Memory) for Mexico Design Week 2025 hosted at G.56 Hub Creativo.
Hecho En Recuerdo, explores the topic, what is Mexican design when it is shaped not by place, but by memory? Culture doesn’t only live where it began, it continues in where it is carried. In rituals passed down. In objects remade with what’s available. In kitchens, workshops, living rooms, and altars far from their original soil. The group show, curated by Of Threads co-founders Alma Jiménez López and Sergio Mondragón, portrays a spectrum of contemporary testimonies shaped by this act of remembrance—where design emerges from memory as much as from material, carrying the weight of lineage, migration, and reinvention.

“This exhibition brings together Mexican-American artists and designers who live in the “in-between” raised in American suburbs, border towns, immigrant households, and hybrid spiritual landscapes.” Says Alma Jimenez Lopez, co-founder Of Threads, “Their work doesn’t replicate tradition. It responds to it. It remakes it. It transforms it.”Hecho en Recuerdo centers around eleven Mexican-American artists whose practice is shaped through memory crafted from the emotional, spiritual, and material remnants of migration. These works are not nostalgic recreations; they are acts of remembering, of honoring what was given. Of translating what could not be brought. They reflect a design language born not from proximity, but from presence.
