Discover the vibrant Latin American art scene at ARCOmadrid 2025. Explore groundbreaking artists and cultural narratives redefining contemporary art at the fair.
As ARCOmadrid celebrates its 44th edition, Latin America takes center stage, showcasing a vibrant tapestry of contemporary art. The fair’s focus on emerging Latin American artists, combined with its exploration of Amazonian futurism, makes it a must-visit event for art enthusiasts.
This year, the fair is not just a celebration of art; it’s an immersive journey into the cultural heritage and innovative spirit of Latin America.
ARCOmadrid 2025 highlights Latin America’s rich cultural heritage through curated sections like “Profiles | Latin American Art” and “Wametisé: Ideas for an Amazonian Futurism”. These programs not only celebrate the region’s artistic diversity but also encourage reflection on identity, community and the environment. With nearly a third of international galleries coming from Latin America, the fair solidifies its position as a hub for Latin American art in Europe.
The emphasis on Amazonian futurism is particularly noteworthy, as it brings together artists and thinkers to explore new modes of creation inspired by Amazonian cultures. This initiative focuses on hybrid existences between human, vegetal, physical and metaphysical bodies, reflecting on collective futures and healing narratives. It’s a unique opportunity to engage with art that not only reflects the past but also imagines the future.
Among the standout artists are Bárbara Sánchez Kane, represented by Kurimanzutto, and Jota Mombaça, showcased by Martins&Montero. Their works reflect the innovative spirit of contemporary Latin American art, blending tradition with modernity. Other notable artists include Chaveli Sifre with Embajada and Mariela Scafati with Isla Flotante.
These artists are part of a broader movement that is redefining the Latin American art scene. They are pushing boundaries, experimenting with new mediums and exploring themes that resonate both locally and globally. Their presence at ARCOmadrid is a testament to the fair’s commitment to showcasing the best of Latin American contemporary art.
The “Wametisé” project is a highlight of ARCOmadrid 2025, bringing together 23 artists, including Carlos Jacanamijoy and Naine Terena, to reflect on collective futures and healing narratives. This initiative is not just about art; it’s about exploring new possibilities inspired by past and present ways of life in the Amazon.
By focusing on Amazonian futurism, ARCOmadrid encourages a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural significance and its potential to inspire global conversations about sustainability and community.
ARCOmadrid is more than just a fair; it’s a cultural event that connects Latin America with the global art community. It provides a platform for emerging artists to gain international recognition, while also showcasing established artists who continue to innovate and push boundaries. The fair’s emphasis on cultural heritage and innovation makes it a unique blend of tradition and modernity, appealing to both seasoned collectors and new art enthusiasts.
By showcasing emerging talent and exploring themes like Amazonian futurism, the fair enriches our understanding of contemporary art and its role in shaping cultural heritage.
