During the presentation of the fair program, Tania Ragasol mentioned that the direct sales landscape of Latin American art was promising and that the market did not expect a decrease in the region.

“I know there are often certain factors that may concern investors and jeopardize some ideas, but I’ve been working at the fair for a whole year, I’ve faced all sorts of fears. Ultimately, sales always tend to increase and the fair shows a positive balance,” she stated.

The fair’s artistic director also mentioned that this year’s edition will feature a performance hall and three social commitment initiatives to gather funds for indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Puebla .
