Enrique Minjares Padilla (Ensenada, B.C., 1977) is a visual artist graduated from the National School of Plastic Arts at UNAM.
Enrique’s work explores different possibilities of production and perception of the pictorial medium using drawing, painting (the game that can exist between these two) and intervention as means of expression. He seeks that the viewer identifies himself subjectively with his pieces so that he can appropriate them and integrate them into his personal history.
His body of work consists of a series of investigations around the image as a means of representation and concept, dismantling it, to rebuild it from a rethinking of the formal aspects of painting.
Through illustrations of tragedies caused by the retrograde disorder of human consciousness, he crosses the boundaries between fiction, reality and the media narrative of contemporary history.
Starting from themes and series that allude to current society, the artist turns to a visceral work process committed to himself, far from conceptual presumptions or trends.
His work has been exhibited in public and private institutions, in Mexico and abroad.
Enrique lives and works in Mexico City.

Tanya explains us the complexity of the discipline of fashion, she beleives it must be studied from different perspectives due to the cultural, social and political implications that what we wear and what others wear represents. For Tanya, fashion is a way of expressing our individuality or our belonging to a group. She sees how the performative nature of clothing makes fashion a fertile field for artistic exploration.
‘Cross-Pollination’ is an annual workshop created by Tanya Meléndez. These workshops offer students a space for intercultural dialogue between international educational institutions and the FIT where students have the opportunity to work on fashion-based projects inspired by MFIT exhibitions. In 2012 Tanya Meléndez-Escalante (FIT), Sebastián Romo (Atelier Romo) and the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (SAPS) collaborated on the educational project ‘Cross-Pollination: Masterpieces of the Collections’.

Erick Meyenberg (CDMX, 1980) is an interdisciplinary visual artist who sees painting as a fundamental element of expression, although he also explores other media such as sound installation, drawing, collage, video and performance. In his work, he shows a special interest in literature, history, social sciences, and natural sciences.
For Meyenberg art is a tool that helps unearth that accumulation of historical layers that are forgotten, making all the elements come into play to get to an ‘aesthetic whole’.
He considers the editing process essential in his work. It is there where he explores the aesthetic potential of images, where he plays with the possibilities they offer, their relationships, and through precise observations, he discovers new meanings, new ideas.
Meyenberg is a graduate of the National School of Plastic Arts. He has a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the University of the Arts, Berlin, Germany (UdK, Berlin) where he studied under the mentorship of German artist Rebecca Horn.
His work is part of some public collections such as the MUAC of the UNAM, the Amparo Museum, the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA), the Telefónica Foundation, (Mexico) and the Benetton Foundation, (Italy).
He has participated in numerous group and individual exhibitions nationally and internationally.
Currently he is part of the National System of Creators (FONCA).
Erick lives and works in Mexico City.
