Patrimonio with Santiago Arau

Mexico City-born photographer and social media phenomenon Santiago Arau (@santiago_arau) will present Patrimonio, a newly released publication of photographs detailing the landscape and beauty of Anáhuac, the Valley of Mexico. Captured between 2015 and 2023, the almost 200 images in the book explore the territory’s heritage, geography, and culture to provide a chronicle of the region.

Arau has attracted nearly a quarter-million followers on Instagram for his exquisitely framed and deeply moving aerial photos. His use of drones offers a fresh perspective on uncommon scenes, creating a unique sense of his homeland’s density and complexity.

Following the book presentation, stay for a live Q&A with Santiago Arau. Learn about his work as a photographer and participate in a discussion where he will share more about his creative process.
