In the fifth edition of Arde Gallery’s ABCdario, the letter F guides us through one important concept, Function , one most important music festivals in San Miguel and a cool design studio.
FUNCTION | Of cinema, of us, and of objects
At Arde Gallery, function isn’t just about usefulness. It’s about potential. Authorial design isn’t made just to serve—it’s made to provoke: a gesture, an emotion, a dialogue. As Foucault suggested, authorship is a function of discourse—what matters is not who created something, but how that creation transforms those who engage with it. A chair can be a symbol. A lamp, a story. An object, a ripple. Here, each piece fulfills its most vital function: to generate meaning.
CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL| A must-see for classical music lovers in San Miguel
Each year, San Miguel de Allende is filled with sublime sound through the Chamber Music Festival—one of the most beloved cultural events for locals. Held at the grand Teatro Ángela Peralta and the Ignacio Ramírez “El Nigromante” Cultural Center, the festival brings together renowned musicians and international talents for intimate, powerful performances. A celebration of tradition and musical mastery, it’s the perfect way to pair visual art with the beauty of sound in one cultural experience.
FLAMINGUETTES \ The design studio with the coolest name
With a name that evokes color and playfulness, Flaminguettes is a Mexico-based creative studio founded by two women who blend animation, art direction, design, and femininity in a vibrant, pop-driven style. Their work fuses digital and handcrafted elements, visual art and cinematography. With a bold and playful aesthetic, they’ve collaborated with brands, museums, and art fairs around the world, leaving an unmistakable visual imprint. At Arde Gallery, we celebrate this fusion of art, design, and fearless identity—Flaminguettes is creative energy in full bloom.
