Mexico’s national daily La Jornada featured my exhibition Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains at the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) in Mexico City. Their preview announced the opening in the Antigua Sala de Monolitos and described how the display immerses visitors in nomadic life. The piece notes that the exhibition is part of the sixtieth anniversary program of the museum and was organized with the Embassy of Mongolia in Washington, D.C. and the Consulate of Mongolia in Mexico.

A follow up feature included an interview about the project and the three week fieldwork across Mongolia, from camel caravans in the Gobi Desert to eagle hunter communities in the Altai. It also situated the exhibition within the celebration of fifty years of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Mongolia.

Presented at Moneda 13 in the Centro Histórico, the exhibition brings together more than two dozen photographs that explore the textures of nomadic and sedentary traditions across Mongolia’s steppes, mountains, and deserts. Admission is free.

I am deeply honored to share that I have been presented with the Cultural Envoy of Mongolia Award by Gankhuyag Natsag, Cultural Envoy of Mongolia. This recognition celebrates my photography that seeks to capture and promote the culture, landscapes, and spirit of Mongolia.

Receiving this award is especially meaningful, as Mongolia has been a source of inspiration for much of my recent work. I am grateful for the opportunity to share its beauty with a wider audience, and I look forward to continuing this journey of storytelling through images.

I am honored to share that my exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains” opened on August 14, 2025 at the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) in Mexico City.

The opening reception was attended by diplomats from Mongolia, Mexico and other countries, as well as representatives of the INAH, museum authorities and artist Gankhuyag Natsag, Cultural Envoy of Mongolia. The event marked not only the presentation of the exhibition but also the celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Mexico.

Among the dignitaries present were the ambassadors of the United States, Romania and Libya in Mexico, Ronald Johnson, Marius Gabriel Lazurca and Sana El Mansouri, along with representatives of the diplomatic corps of Cuba, Spain and Portugal. Their presence underscored the importance of cultural exchange and the spirit of international friendship that this exhibition represents.

The opening ceremony included remarks from José Luis Perea González, Technical Secretary of the INAH, who emphasized that photography not only documents but also tells stories that connect cultures. Alejandra Gómez Colorado, Director of the MNCM, highlighted that this is the first exhibition dedicated to Mongolia ever presented at the museum and described it as the beginning of a journey of discovery into the culture of that vast Asian country.

In his words, Gankhuyag Natsag reflected that the exhibition celebrates the beauty, culture and spirit of Mongolia, and that events like this one “open new doors to friendship and cooperation through the universal language of art.”

Presented under the patronage of the Honorary Consul of Mongolia in Mexico, Enrique Arturo Gutiérrez López Portillo, and the Embassy of Mongolia in Washington, D.C., the exhibition features 25 photographs. The works capture the grandeur of Mongolia’s landscapes, from the vast dunes of the Gobi to the rugged Altai Mountains and the sweeping steppes, as well as the nomadic peoples who have lived in harmony with camels, horses and eagles for centuries.

I was deeply touched to hear reflections from the curatorial team and cultural representatives, and it is a profound honor to share the results of my journeys through Mongolia’s deserts, mountains and steppes in this historic setting.

The exhibition is on view until January 2026 in the Antigua Sala de Monolitos of the MNCM.

I’m delighted to share that the opening reception for the exhibition DANCE at the Duncan Miller Gallery in Los Angeles was a wonderful success. The event featured two performances by Clyde Evans, Jr., Director of Education at the International Museum of Dance, which beautifully brought the spirit of the photographs to life while engaging the audience.

As part of this exhibition, I am honored that two of my works, “Voladores: Dancing in the Sky” and “No Parking, Just Tango”, are joining the permanent collection of the International Museum of Dance in San Francisco. Both pieces are currently on view in Los Angeles as part of this special collaboration between the Museum and the Gallery.
