A door to the invisible opens at El Palacio de Hierro Polanco with Sueño Hábitat, the new exhibition by the renowned Oaxacan workshop Jacobo & María Ángeles. More than folk art, these pieces are portals: monumental sculptures that fuse Zapotec tradition, ancestral symbolism, and a profoundly contemporary aesthetic.
With roots in San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca, the Ángeles—along with their children Ricardo and María Sabina—present a visual narrative where the beautiful and the haunting coexist. Here, the alebrijes are not decorative fantasies: they are tonas and nahuales, spiritual beings that invite us to reconnect with nature, fear, protection, and the sacred.
Sueño Hábitat is not a place: it is a state of mind, the artists affirm. And that is what they offer: a visual offering to those who seek to inhabit art, not just admire it.
📍 Ground floor of El Palacio de Hierro Polanco
