Vortex unfolds from the Emerging Latam program, which over recent years has made visible emerging voices from Latin America at Swab. In this new phase, the project expands its reach towards a dialogue between young local projects and those from Latin America, intending to build new bridges between these two territories whose cultural landscapes have mutually shaped each other, sharing a back-and-forth of resonances, influences, and reinventions.

Curated by Lena Solà Nogué, a Catalan curator residing in Mexico who joins the project this year, Vortex proposes a shared occupation model: six spaces at the fair will be cohabited by twelve young galleries, six from each region.

This space becomes a meeting point for artists whose interests and lives circulate between here and Latin America, facilitating the creation of cultural networks that allow sharing of resources, issues, and strategies, contributing to strengthening concrete links between both scenes.
