Ficciones | Activation of Alan Sierra's piece

As part of the public program Ficciones. Narratividad en el arte contemporáneo, Centro Cultural de España en México presents the activation of Alan Sierra's piece Juegos florales.

Ficciones. Narratividad en el arte contemporáneo explores how analysis, interpretation, and the construction of narratives have taken center stage in today's art. In a context of epochal change, following the end of the hegemonic chronicles that shaped Western culture since the beginning of modernity—and their counterpoint in postmodernity—an opportunity has emerged for dispersed voices, improbable stories, and tales without a moral.

Juegos florales is a project by artist Alan Sierra (Mexico, 1990) that appropriates the format of the literary salon to dismantle the logic of competition and the dynamics of rivalry. This installation offers an open microphone to anyone living in Mexico City or its surroundings who is interested in sharing their poems with an audience. At the end of the Juegos florales, during a closing ceremony on October 5, 2025, each author will receive a small brass flower as a prize.

To take part in this event, you must register in advance and show up on the scheduled date for the reading aloud.

Space is limited to ten authors or poets per session.
