ABOUT PROYECTOR
Proyector is a curatorial platform based in Mexico City, dedicated to promoting emerging voices in contemporary architectural research. Proyector is committed to fostering new strategies and critical, theoretical and historical tools on spatial issues. During the three seasons of the annual program, researchers (and research groups) are invited to work together with the curatorial team of Proyector in a collaborative manner, seeking the projection of their research in multiple formats: exhibitions, publications, workshops, performances, talks, seminars, among others.
Proyector is located in the Colonia Industrial, a neighborhood located in the center-north of Mexico City as a result of modern expansions driven by the progress of the national industry, seeking to re-establish old spatial and historical relations with the center, in the midst of a new and growing cultural context. Proyector seeks to promote the decentralization of the cultural scene promoting a discourse of integration between different practices, themes, interests, languages and formats around architecture, promoting the necessary ideas’ exchange between the various areas in the city and its recognition.
