Cempoaxochitl Arts Collective invites Mexican artists residing in Mexico and abroad to participate in the OFRENDA 2026 exhibition. This visual arts and cultural event will be presented as part of the 2026 Day of the Dead celebrations, in collaboration with Bemac and the Mexican community in Meanjin/Magandjin (Brisbane, Australia).

OFRENDA 2026 offers a space to reflect and create dialogue about the bonds that shape us, the absences that accompany us, and the memories that remain alive through creative practice. We invite artists of diverse backgrounds and identities, languages, and perspectives to explore this theme through their own practice. .

Submission Deadline: May 30th, 2026.
Announcement of Selected Artists: June 15, 2026.

'As visitors, migrants and immigrants, we acknowledge our work in so-called Australia occurs on unceded Aboriginal lands. Originary (First Nations) peoples have been creating art on these lands since time immemorial and it is with great respect and gratitude that we are able to share our cultures and stories here. We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands, waters, and skies of Magandjin/Meanjin and across 'Australia'.
