Hello,

Moving to a new place and learning about the culture goes beyond adapting to customs and traditions. The art scene (music, art, literature, and cinematography) is also a big part of discovering a new country.

What are the best ways to learn about the cultural scene in Mexico, and how important are the arts in the country?

Did you do a lot of research prior to moving, or was it easy to explore the art scene after your move?

How would you explain the art scene in Mexico? What is the most salient art form in the country, that you would recommend for future expats to explore in order to adapt and integrate faster: literature, cinematography, music, etc.?

Which art form and artist most represent the country's culture, and why?

Are there certain activities or places such as art centres that would help to explore the culture in Mexico?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

Right now I'm exploring the scene in T.J., and trying to adjust to the temperature change, which is another thing to experience in Mexico.

Culture in Mexico is not hidden, it's there big and bold. It is recorded in the murals on the walls, the textures in the fabrics, the precision of the panama type hats. You can see art everywhere. The changing art displayed on the streets of el centro, the music in the parks, and the more formal art in buildings available to see for a small fee. The people of Mexico are very creative. Much of what they have is free to see. If you don't see the art you are not looking.
