Introducing The Materia Archive 2020–2024, our first independent publication celebrating the intersection of art, design, and culture across the Americas. Rooted in the creative energy of Mexico City, this book captures a cultural moment that continues to shape and inspire.

Spanning four transformative years of interviews and features previously published online on materia.press, The Materia Archive reflects the spirit of a city that has long been a magnet and cultural epicenter for artists, designers, and thinkers. The name Materia, meaning "matter" in Spanish, symbolizes the heart of this project: an exploration of both the tangible and the meaningful. Through captivating interviews, essays, and features, this archive delves into themes of ancestry, identity, mysticism, artistry, and the boundless potential of creative expression, as well as relevant topics including the intersection of gender, environmentalism, and design. 

Featuring contributions from some of the most influential architects, designers, and artists of our time, such as Alberto Kalach, Brian Thoreen, Bosco Sodi, Daniel Lezama, Simone Bodmer-Turner, Tatiana Bilbao and more.
