Visual artist, curator and docent who holds an MA from the University of Guanajuato. Her last exhibition, 2023’s Lupercalia Indómita, at guadalajara90210 in Mexico City, puts the ways we materialize social accords in tension with certain attitudes that are naturally untamed. She served as coordinator at the independent art space Obra Negra from 2018 to 2020 and founded the Programa de Producción Artística (PROA), given over to preserving and promoting contemporary arts practice in Mexico’s Bajío region. Her artistic practice received a grant from the Programa de Estímulo de la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico, in 2017, after receiving a 2015 Jóvenes Creadores program grant from the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes. As PROA coordinator, she received different grants on behalf of independent spaces, from donors such as the Guanajuato Ministry of Culture, the Instituto Estatal de la Cultura de Guanajuato and the Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo. Between 2013 and 2018 she formed part of the docents team at the Universidad de Guanajuato’s visual arts department. She is currently a member of the Colectivo Dolores Hidalgo. 

Wildlife Insights (Avistamiento del encuentro salvaje), 2024
Installation
Mechanical structure, command controls, inflatable canvas, modified synthetic hides, outfit, and single-channel video

Wildlife Insights reflects on encounters between the human body and the wild. Using a mechanical bull covered with different modified synthetic hides, the artist questions the body, skin, stigmata, and the body-machine-animal relationship. The work also explores distinct ways of framing the gaze. Wildlife Insights recreates a diorama in the style of natural history museums that contextualizes ecosystems and ways of life. The set-up frames different constructions of desire and creates tension by making the contents inaccessible. The accompanying video/performance responds to cinema and digital culture, depicting an encounter between a woman and the mechanical bull. The video, which highlights the sensuality of the exchange, challenges archetypal knowledge about the feminine, ferocity, domination, and seduction.
