Mexico City hosts an exhibition exploring the deep connection between football and art, timed with the upcoming 2026 World Cup. Held at the Jumex Museum, the event features around 100 artworks that investigate football as a global phenomenon and art as a medium for expressing identity, memory, and belonging. A key figure is the Kenyan artist Wangechi Mutu, known for her collage techniques. Her work "Time Out" reflects a moment in time where athletic motion meets artistic contemplation. The exhibition also showcases historical archives documenting football's evolution and unconventional elements, like recycled seats from the iconic Azteca Stadium and miniature football fields.
