Overview
- Mexico City’s leader, Clara Brugada, formally opened the light-art exhibition and cast it as a peace‑building cultural push supported by Philips.
- The show lines Paseo de la Reforma from the Ángel de la Independencia toward Bosque de Chapultepec and remains open nightly through March 29 with no admission fee.
- Organizers programmed 13 works with roughly 90% by Mexican artists, including pieces by Amauri Sanabria, Julio Bekhor, Kardia, Luca Salas, Miguel Bolívar, Omar Gómez, Flowers of Life, Vladimir Maislin, and Yupica.
- The centerpiece is British artist Luke Jerram’s touring ‘Museum of the Moon,’ a giant sphere printed with NASA lunar imagery and scaled about 500,000 times smaller than the real moon.
- Festival leaders say FILUX has drawn hundreds of thousands in past editions, and they frame this edition as an open, family‑friendly use of public space that spotlights Mexico City as a cultural capital.
