This article examines the usefulness of data analysis and visualization in communicating the contribution of art galleries to the economic and social development of Mexico City. Making this information available not only broadens accessibility for a non-specialized public but also strengthens the sector’s position with public and private institutions.The study draws on publicly available data as well as a survey conducted in 2023 with 13 contemporary art galleries in Mexico City, focusing on their operations, perceptions, and challenges.The findings reveal: (a) a gender gap in artist representation sharper than the international average; (b) a potential correlation between the budget allocated to communication services and average monthly sales volume; and (c) a potential positive spillover effect on economic activity in sectors not directly related to art sales. In addition, the research highlights the contribution of the gallery sector to the urban development of neighborhoods where galleries are concentrated and to Mexico’s projection as a relevant cultural and artistic hub both locally and internationally. These results underscore the need for a second phase of research with a larger sample and the design of an institutional instrument to address the existing information gap.

The study aimed to determine the recurrence of content related to the Orange Economy across 13 Peru Brand advertising campaigns broadcast between 2011 and 2024. To do this, a quantitative descriptive-research methodology of descriptive reach was applied, based on the content analysis of 29 videos hosted on the brand's official YouTube channel. The materials were classified according to the typology of Buitrago and Duque (2013), which distinguishes three areas: Arts and Heritage, Conventional Cultural Industries, Functional Creations, New Media, and Software. The results showed a predominance of Arts and Heritage (61%), followed by Conventional Cultural Industries (21%) and Functional Creations (18%). Likewise, a thematic diversification towards gastronomy, traditional knowledge, and ecotourism was observed. In conclusion, the campaigns confirmed that the Peru Brand articulates identity and creativity, consolidating the Orange Economy as a strategic resource for the country's cultural and tourism positioning.

This article presents and proposes self-management leadership to structure more communitarian strategies for creative organisations in response to the power dynamics established by large corporations through digital distribution and promotion. An institutional framework (Thornton et al., 2012; Owen and Powell, 2017) is used to analyse how artists' identities are used to perform and structure new forms of organisation. Using a qualitative discourse analysis approach, two feminist collective organisations in the music industries of Colombia and México were studied as case studies to illustrate this phenomenon. Based on Vasilachis’ (2006) proposal, the narratives of both collectives are interpreted to identify shared symbols that enabled them to develop collaborative strategies and, thus, shared leadership. The results characterize self-managed organisations and explain the strategies they use to create stronger collaborative relationships to work together in economic networks, rather than becoming part of multinational corporation value chains.

This article documents the evolutionary process of the design of Ansiudad, a gamified tool created in higher education contexts to mitigate the paralysis caused by eco-anxiety. It analyzes how the inherent limitations of the traditional board game format drove a key methodological innovation: the transition to a phygital experience. The analysis focuses on the convergence of social design and Artificial Intelligence (AI), where the open-source language model Llama 3.2 was integrated to dynamically generate content (incidents and roles) in real time. The game's history is traced through its main iterations, including its validation at What Design Can Do and its technological implementation at a hackathon. The analysis suggests that the integration of AI not only scales the tool's adaptability and replayability but also enhances a ludopedagogical model that helps transform fear of the complexity of socio-environmental problems into the imagination of sustainable and equitable futures.

Based on her analysis of modernity, Almudena Hernando argues that the narrative of progress, grounded in the ideal of an autonomous, rational, and self-sufficient subject, generated an imbalance by marginalizing the interdependent and emotional dimensions of human beings. Alongside Roberto Esposito’s tension between the concepts of community and immunity, these perspectives provide key references for understanding the construction of the modern subject and its relationship with the environment. I aim to connect these reflections with design as a practice shaped by the modern paradigm, while also considering how such ideas can serve as tools to enrich the discipline toward a commitment to creating more sensitive, sustainable, and supportive realities. If design, through its transformative capacity, seeks to improve prevailing conditions and imagine possible futures, revisiting these authors’ discussions can contribute to fostering in design a balance between self-protection and the common good, recognizing interdependence, integrating emotions, and assuming an emotional responsibility toward others.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industrial design is transforming product development by optimizing processes, enhancing creativity, and improving efficiency. This study examines AI’s impact on each phase of the product design and development process (PDDP), highlighting its role in solution personalization.This work combines a literature review and a case study of the design of a pediatric medical dropper, which illustrates both the capabilities and limitations of AI. Tools such as trend analysis algorithms and generative models for optimization are highlighted.AI complements designers by automating repetitive tasks and fostering innovation. Rather than replacing them, it enhances their capabilities. In the future, balanced collaboration between AI and designers will reshape the discipline, leading to more efficient, sustainable, and creative design practices.

The new sustainability agenda encompasses various strategies implemented by nations to align efforts and cooperatively reduce global warming, whose effects are increasingly severe and largely considered irreversible. Among the most widely recognized strategies is the circular economy, a concept that has been developed through diverse approaches across different regions of the world. The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between roadmaps and the circular economy, with the aim of identifying common factors. The study employs a systematic review of 238 articles indexed in the Web of Science (2013–2024). The results reveal trending topics, as well as the identification of seven clusters and five key factors influencing roadmaps for the transition toward circularity, including waste management, water treatment, and energy generation.

The art market, as well as the demand for artworks, has evolved due to cultural, economic and technological factors. From being a tool for evangelism to being a low risk investment nowadays. One of the biggest stakeholders, and art market regulators are auction houses, particularly Sotheby’s, who was the first to auction Latin American art. Nowadays, Latin American art auctions are gradually disappearing by redirecting the Latin American art lots to contemporary art or modern art auctions. In this article, through interviews with specialists, with the founder and previous Heads of the Latin American Department at Sotheby’s, we will review why exclusive Latin American art auctions should not disappear, and why these auctions should be promoted, to help consolidate Mexican art globally.

Tourism has achieved a marked consolidation since 2010, when it began a period of boom until 2019, as reported by Castro et al. (2024). Beyond simple tourist experiences dominated by visual perception and observation, gastronomy has emerged as a determining factor in the choice of destinations, becoming a driving force that connects travelers with local culture, traditions, and flavors. This phenomenon has led to the rise of gastronomic tourism, where visitors seek immersive and authentic experiences. The objective of this research was to determine the profile of ventures that offer creative gastronomic experiences. To this end, a qualitative methodology was implemented, applying a semi-structured interview and resuming a descriptive method for the results. The findings are summarized in four profiles (Culture-Entertainment, Tradition-Innovation, Tradition-Learning, and Tradition-Culture) where the 12 study subjects were grouped, depending on their services, spaces, and relationship with the cultural and creative industries.

This study examines the factors influencing work-life balance among entrepreneurial mothers (mompreneurs) using a qualitative approach based on interviews with seven women from northern Mexico. Through thematic analysis, key elements such as personal motivations, economic needs, emotional tensions, and support networks were identified as critical in the negotiation between motherhood and entrepreneurship. The findings reveal that while self-employment offers flexibility, it also leads to workload intensification and stress. The research is grounded in feminist entrepreneurship theory, social role theory, and work-life balance frameworks, providing a comprehensive perspective on this emerging phenomenon. This study contributes to the visibility of mompreneurs experiences and challenges, offering insights for the development of more inclusive support policies.
