In conjunction with the ‘ESPECTICULAR DE LUCHA LIBRE’ photography exhibition from Mexico, the National Art Gallery (NAG) cordially invites you to a sharing session with renowned Mexican contemporary photographer Lourdes Grobet and Malaysian contemporary painter C.K Koh. Light refreshments will be served.

The mask occupies a very unique place throughout Mexican culture. It is not limited solely to festivities and religious celebrations. As i worked in my photographic project on the wrestlers in Mexico, this became increasingly evident. They are like the point of the arrow that leads us to understand the diversity of the myths surrounding the mask.

In fact, it is the wrestlers in Mexico that have brought the symbol of the mask into modernity within our culture. from a practical point of view, there is no distance anymore between its daily use and its most profound references. – Lourdes Grobet
