Mexico City is getting ready to experience one of the most vibrant cultural events of the year. From 31 August to 28 September, KULTURA WITH 2025 will celebrate its third edition with a programme that breaks the boundaries of a traditional festival: four weeks of film, music, dance, performance, workshops and talks in different venues in the capital, as well as a Film Tour national which will tour theatres all over the country.
What began as a weekend of celebration has transformed into a dynamic cultural space that invites us to imagine and create futures together. With proposals that explore diversity, mutual care and resilience, KULTURA CON presents itself as a place where art becomes resistance, inspiration and strength for transformation.
