UNAM hosts major cultural and science-art festivals

The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has hosted various cultural and scientific celebrations in 2026. The Festival Cultura UNAM 2026 concluded with a diverse program featuring international theater, performance art, and music. Highlights included the French production ‘Asuntos familiares’ by the Centre Dramatique National d’Orléans, the landscape-focused performance ‘RoZéO’ from France, and musical performances ranging from Latin rhythms to Slavic punk.

Simultaneously, the UNAM Faculty of Medicine launched the 2026 Science and Art Festival, titled ‘An artistic journey through health.’ The event, organized by the Coordination of Community Services, integrates eight artistic disciplines—including digital art, sculpture, and photography—with scientific inquiry. The festival features over 70 works created by students, professors, and collaborators from various faculties and institutions, aiming to explore the complementary relationship between scientific understanding and artistic interpretation.
