Vochos Unidos made its art fair debut at Feria Material, Vol. 12 — presented through KDR305 Gallery as a solo booth during Mexico City's Art Week. The presentation brought together limited edition fine art prints from the project alongside the published monograph, marking the first time the work was exhibited in the city where it was made.

The 12th edition of Feria Material took place at Maravilla Studios in Mexico City's Atlampa neighborhood, bringing together 78 exhibitors from 21 countries. KDR305 Miami was among the presenting galleries, representing Vochos Unidos to an international audience of collectors, curators, and press.

The booth was covered by The New York Times Style Magazine: México, which used photography from the project — Vocho En Llamas by Rodrigo Gaya Villar, 2026 — as the lead image for their Feria Material feature, published February 3, 2026.
