In today's world of evolving traditions and cultural fusion, Mexico's ethnic clothing is much admired for what it tells us about this fascinating country and its diverse communities.

Filux Lab is an initiative originated from the International Light Festival Mexico (Festival Internacional de las Luces México). It was our firm conviction to create breeding ground for local talent, with an identity all of its own, which made us design the first laboratory entirely dedicated to experimentation, discussion, production and exhibition of art pieces related to the language of light and cinema. Our program connects us with the global scene of art through residencies, workshops, master classes, co-productions, forums and festivals that promote cultural exchange amongst artists, experts and a diverse audience. We are an independent space based in the city of Mérida, Yucatán; our mission is to promote a sense of artistic community where different universes come together around the light.
