Tan Tin Tan: the Kaluz pays tribute to a twenty-first-century Mexican

Fifty years after Germán Valdés’s death, the Museo Kaluz celebrates Tin Tan not as a relic of the golden age but as a surprisingly current figure. With nearly two hundred pieces from twenty-two collections—from the National Photo Library to the Museo del Estanquillo—the show builds the portrait of a comedian who broke molds: the pachuco who mixed languages, rhythms and ways of being Mexican against the grain. It is popular culture treated with affection and rigor. With ArtGuide you travel through the life of an icon who still has things to tell us.
