It's 'Mexico's cultural presence during the London 2012 Olympics': Taking place from 17 – 19 August at Rich Mix, East London as part of the Shoreditch Fringe Festival. It will present a three day fiestaof live music, contemporary, award winning films including features, documentaries, sci- fi classics, shorts and animations, alongside exhibitions, food – and wrestling!

Visual designer and creative director Tupac Martir who has provided production design, visuals and lighting direction for Elton John, Sting will show a video installation during during this weekend.
There will also be an ambitious installation façade projection by acclaimed visual designer Tupac Martir, best known for collaborations with the likes of Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood. Specially commissioned by The Mexican Tourism Board, the Mexican-themed installation is titled 'The Gentleman, The Mermaid, Mexican Cinema, Lottery! (El Catrin, La Sirena, Mexican Cinema, LoterÃa!)' and if you've ever seen visual and lights screened onto a building, it looks as if it comes alive and it is a-ma-zing. To accompany the feast for the eyes, specially composed songs for the event will be streamed on the website of the festival, giving people the chance to hear the music from their own devices, engaging in a closer way with the incredible activity.

For years, acclaimed photographer Lourdes Grobet has studied Lucha Libre, the spectacular art of Mexican wrestling that has evolved from a sport to a kind of modern mythology, complete with its very own masked heroes and monsters that have spawned endless comic books and films charting their legendary exploits... This interesting world is brought to life through an exhibition of sixteen photographs.
Local jeweller, Tatty Devine are having a sale on their products the same weekend, which includes great Mexican inspired jewellery involving Frida Kahlo and day of the dead sugar skull necklaces and earrings! We have personally checked them out and they're to die for, get it? :)
