A DESTINATION THAT BLENDS CULTURE, HISTORY, AND CONTEMPORANEITY
Guatemala invites its visitors to discover its rich cultural heritage while exploring a vibrant and modern country. As the cradle of the Maya civilization, this Central American nation offers world-renowned tourist destinations such as the majestic Antigua Guatemala, the stunning Lake Atitlán, and the ancient Tikal National Park, which increasingly attract visitors with a sensitivity to visual and material culture.
However, Guatemala is more than just its historical and natural treasures: it has embraced contemporary design and local craftsmanship as forms of expression that bridge its past with its present and future. Visiting Guatemala today, in addition to admiring its landscapes and monuments, allows visitors to immerse themselves in its creative and cultural practices – from craftsmanship, design, and art to gastronomy and jewellery – where tradition and innovation converge. This exhibition brings together objects and processes from some of the country’s most prominent designers and artisans who are precisely working at the intersection of handcrafted work and a contemporary vision of design and creation.
