A coalition of cultural figures in Mexico has signed an open letter demanding clarity from the government about the duration of a landmark collection's stay in Spain.
This collection is recognized as one of the world's most important assemblages of 20th-century Mexican art, featuring notable works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
The implications of this relocation may affect not only the preservation of these artworks but also the cultural identity and heritage associated with them.
