Art With Me Tulum 2019

Art With Me *GNP “Presented by TANE” emerged in 2018 as Tulum’s first Arts & Ecoculture Festival. With the second edition taking place from April 24-28, we are excited to announce the second phase of international artists and musical acts. Art With Me *GNP is a community-driven festival offering programming across seven core pillars encompassing art, sustainability, music, wellness, culinary, and family as a platform to inspire change. Our theme for 2019 is Change Starts With Me, and a key focus of the festival is bringing awareness and solutions to the infrastructure and environmental challenges that Tulum faces with the mission of building a more sustainable future.

Highlights from the phase two art lineup include the renowned project Cosmogolem by Koen Vanmechelen, a monumental wooden statue focused on bringing relief to children in need. The piece has already been in over 30 countries and gives children the chance to be creative and share their dreams, hopes, and desires. Art With Me *GNP will be the setting for one of Koen’s dialogues on Human Rights, which will also be presented at the Human Rights Pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Art in partnership with Ai Weiwei.

IK Lab Tulum will be presenting the exhibition Alchemistry, featuring Los Angeles based creator of experimental sculptures and installations Kelly Akashi, multidisciplinary artist known for blending various materials Bianca Bondi, and NYC based artist bringing mythological components to the project Rochelle Goldberg.
