Celebrate Mexico Now is the only independent arts festival showcasing contemporary Mexico in New York City, founded by Claudia Norman.
The 2021 festival features events that highlight the resilience of the artistic community in the face of some of the most difficult years in recent history. The program includes a selection of dance films created during lockdown, an evening of live music with singer-songwriter Renee Goust, a discussion of the role of the Indigenous woman in Mexican history, and a conversation with women who have created powerful documentaries.
