Ex Teresa Contemporary Art

Contemporary art in a 17th-century temple converted into a creative studio

What Makes It Special?

Located in the former Temple of Santa Teresa la Antigua, this cultural center has become one of Mexico’s leading venues for experimental art. Here, sound art, performance, installation, and the body as an artistic medium come together.

Did You Know…?

The church was built in the 17th century, but after it ceased to function as a place of worship, it became an art venue. Its Baroque architecture contrasts with the contemporary works it houses, creating a unique experience.
