This session aims to provide essential tools for the overall stability of those working in the creative industries. We’ll explore three key pillars: emotional health and its link to financial stability; prevention and asset protection in the face of health emergencies; and how to formalize work agreements through contracts that can safeguard artistic labor. A space to discuss the things that are rarely talked about—but deeply shape creative careers.

In this session, we’ll examine how global trends influence design in Mexico City and how that design shapes urban identity. We’ll discuss the tension between tradition and modernity—for example, traditional practices from academia vs current workflows through artificial intelligence—and how this affects creative practices. We’ll also share strategies for personal and studio marketing, viewing design not only as an aesthetic practice but also as a cultural expression.

A moment to imagine what’s coming—and what we want to come.
