MOTA PEREZ, Melissa. Fonca: The History of Art Funding in Mexico in the Course of Political Alternation (1989-2020).Translated byPaola A. Salinas. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.26, pp.19-68.  Epub Dec 05, 2023. ISSN 2007-249X.  https://doi.org/10.30763/intervencion.270.v2n26.49.2022.

The creation of the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (Fonca) in 1989, not only represented the transformation of the relationship between the artistic community and the State, it also propitiated, together with the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (Conaculta), a new way of conceiving cultural policy in Mexico. This article analyzes the structural bases of Fonca and identifies the administrative and operational modifications that it had in the political alternation of PRI, PAN and Morena and how they responded to the ideals of each party. The neoliberal profile of the fund is also explored, as well as the reasons why it was extinguished in 2020 and the current situation of the new Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y a Proyectos Culturales (SACPC).

Keywords : trust; Fonca; Conaculta; culture; neoliberalism; contemporary art; funding.
