Celebrate México Now Festival 2004–2024 is a commemorative book honoring the first twenty years of México Now Festival—an independent, multidisciplinary cultural project in New York City founded and directed by Claudia Norman. Written and edited by Rocio Echevarría and published by independent press Editorial Microhistorias, the book draws from more than twenty-five interviews with Claudia and a deep review of two decades of festival archives, materials, and testimonies. The result is an intimate visual and narrative journey through the festival’s evolution and its vibrant, ever-growing community.

Hosted at The Center for Fiction, this special event kicks off with a conversation moderated by David Brooks—author, journalist, and U.S. correspondent for the Mexican newspaper La Jornada—featuring Rocio Echevarría and José Higuera, Director of the CUNY Mexican Studies Institute and one of the book’s sponsors. The discussion will then open to the audience, offering space for questions, reflections, and shared stories.

If you’ve been part of the festival’s history, we invite you to join us, reconnect, and celebrate this landmark publication together.
