Arleene Correa Valenciaz / California USA
Through textiles, painting and social practice Arleene Correa Valencia dives into questions surrounding her political status as a registered “illegal alien.” Inspired by her family’s migration from Mexico to the United States, she unthreads the complexities of immigration, human rights, inequality, and family separation by creating portraits of families that exist together and apart. Divided by lines that define imaginary borders, Correa Valencia’s works are carefully crafted in various mediums to play with ideas surrounding visibly and invisibly as they translate the history of migrants who seek a better life
César Ríos / CDMX, Mexico
Designer currently shifting interest in the art and technology relationship , My work seeks to create artifacts that use the aesthetic and sensory languages of design to reinterpret metaphysical concepts and contexts in phenomenological experiences, using as a medium, modern technological tools that address research topics such as; ancient beliefs, alchemy, philosophy and literature thus seeking to contemplate the artifacts, components and technological manufacturing processes from a poetic point of view.
Brittne Potter/ Canda & Baja California sur
Brittne Potter is a Canadian painter based in La Paz, BCS. Potter works with natural earth pigments that are foraged throughout the mountain ranges in Baja. The pigments are gathered and processed by hand in her home studio before being turned into paint. In her early life, Potter used a rock tumbler to create various crafts as her affinity for natural materials bloomed. Prior to arriving in Mexico, she completed her BFA in Studio Arts at Concordia University. In her spare time she co-founded Centerfold Gallery, a successful pop- up event series that led to the opening of a physical gallery in Montréal in 2016. As a foreigner in Mexico, taking samples from the earth became a deeply satisfying process to connect to the land and larger community. In Summer 2022 she moved to an off-grid eco retreat property to structure a creative residency program. The property sits at the base of the Sierra de la Giganta, allowing further exploration and access to new, vibrant pigments. The program is designed to bring creatives into a raw environment along with the requirement of regenerative community activation. Potter’s creative process continues to be interlaced with fostering community.v

Monse Muro / Montreal, Canada
Monse Muro is a Canadian, Mexican born visual artist. Her work draws on images from daily life, domestic interiors, fragments of songs and poetry, as well as her family archive. Piecing together elements into atmospheric spaces that evoke memory, distance, and longing. She creates images that are utterly familiar - an orange peel, an interior window, a series of snapshots tacked to a wall. While evading a specific narrative, the artist suggests an autobiography offering a personal quality in which the viewer can closely inhabit Muro’s world. Her work mainly examines migration, family archives, speculative history, identity, and kinetic memory.vMonse Muro is a Canadian, Mexican born visual artist.

Jacob Grumulaitis / New York, USA
Growing up in a conservative Texas town, my visible queerness was an invitation to violence. Being in New York allows me to study culturally queer spaces because of the relative ubiquity of queer spaces. The physical nature of construction is vital to my methods of photography. The pieces reflect individuals and their experiences within a place, my act of space building for my identity and gender, the spaces and legacies created by the queers before me, spaces held in importance by subsects of the queer community, and the historical spaces that are no more. My interest in these subjects stems from a want to be visible within queer history and a yearning to understand the impact of temporary marks on people, places, and history. The works employ collage techniques, site-specific installations, historical studies, and references to the established queer artists I claim as my forbears. These methods act as my imprint; a mark of my work never attempts to claim ownership but enacts itself as a part of a nuanced definition within history. My self-portraiture has been a pivotal part of my work and understanding of my gender and the versions of myself that are known through each person. Each photo lives in temporality, a still of a prolonged performance. Why is the timeline of mark-making not sequential, what histories coexist, and what relation does a person share with a physical space that will inevitably inhabit a part of a future stranger?
Lucy Wood Baird / Chicago, USA
My practice examines the ambivalent nature of images via sculptural spatial collage of photographic prints. These prints, used as material for composite objects and installations, are divorced from their context and play with the perceived reality and dimensionality of the printed image. The works use images as sculptures, shadows, negatives, and mirrors. Some works allude to light that is documented from another context, others work like sundials activated by ambient light. The works cannot be captured or fully possessed, they maintain their own agency as they are dependent on light, time, or movement to activate them. They are documents of things while existing simultaneously as another thing themselves, showing multiple perspectives at once, and bringing into question what perspective is true or real if any.
Maximiliano Ruelas / Guadalajara, Mexico
Maximiliano’s work aims to create narratives between social contexts, specifically around race, cultural identity and the romanticism that involves the clashing of cultures. The emphasis of his practice delves deep into the problematics surrounding his immediate ecosystem. Ranging from post colonialism in society and the syncretism surrounding us, to queer identities flourishing in a societal turn moil and a changing political context, the themes that motivate his work are often at conflict with each other, yet also harmoniously intertwined. With the materials used, he seeks to create a conversation between painting, one of the most respected mediums, and textiles, a medium often overlooked. These two, one historically masculine, and the other inherently feminine, create a dichotomy that converts into his own contemporary ideology. Maximiliano received his BA in Textile and Fashion from Polimoda. His work has been exhibited in Mexico, Italy and the Netherlands.
Leming Chung / Shenzhen, China & Los Angeles , USA
I am an LA/China-based artist working in the intersections of contemporary art, cinema, sculpture, and game world-building. I received a BS in Economics from China and a MFA in Media Arts from UCLA. I have a long-term interest in the manipulation of body politics in real life and the power dynamic between human and nonhuman forms. I have been exploring entanglement of biological phenomena such as immune disorders and allergies, along with food preparation and preservation, as a comparative study of the unsettled intermediate stage for cross-species interconnection and how future is shaped in ideological narrative.

Juan Ledesma / Miami, USA
My practice is rooted in interdisciplinary experimentation. For my first solo exhibition in 2021, I examined the discourse of sound in relation to accented speech and the rhythms of spoken language. The intention was to contrast seemingly unrelated disciplines (linguistics & music) as common threads in the fabric of our social reality. Through my practice, I attempt to reveal spaces of commonality that fundamentally question who we are and how we relate to one another. Having had training both as a visual artist and a musician, I often explore resonance and material culture via drawing, sculpture, and sound installation. Recent work includes a drawing series exploring ancient symbols, cave paintings and the concept of nature, the process of which mimicked the flow of musical collaboration.v
Samantha Vo / Phoenix Arizona, USA
Samantha Vo is a multidisciplinary creative practicing at the intersection of art and design. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Culture with an emphasis in Design and a minor in Studio Art from the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University in 2019. Her work explores her Mexican and Vietnamese heritages through mixed media art forms such as typography, textiles and printmaking with messages inspired by prayers, stories and memories of her family and upbringing. A common theme across Samantha’s practice is upcycling materials. She was inspired by her family’s constant resilience and resource-fullness in utilizing what they had and always finding beauty in found objects, thrifted items and antiques. nal en ciudades como Monterrey, Cd Mx, Hermosillo, Querétaro y Mérida Invitada como ponente en WPPI (Wedding And Portrait Photography International) en 2020 y 2022, donde tuvo la oportunidad de ser reconocida por Fujifilm X Series EU y compartir escenario con fotógrafos internacionales.

Katayoun Vaziriv / Iran & Los Angeles
At the moment I am working on a series called “Sky's the limit”. The series plays with the meaning of this phrase and the fact that what if Sky is actually the limit. What if we are all being ambitious, discovering new technology, not paying attention to its impact on our only planet and sky? Same as my other works this series also happens in a space between hoping to change the system ( reaching the sky), and feeling disabled and out of power towards it. At the moment all my works are in gouache, For these series I want to add print making to my medium and that's one of main reasons I am applying. Also as a person who has recently moved to CDMX, I would love to get to know the community better and I hope these types of residencies can also help with that.
Lu Villanueva / San Paulo, Brazil & cDMX, Mexico
My work is an approach to abstraction. I'm trying to create my own visual language: one that uses shapes, forms, color and line to create a composition with a degree of independence from visual reference to reality. Mixing techniques and trying out the resilience of the mediums and materials involving my art is as important as the final artwork. As a resource I use photography and architectural elements as well as the environment that surrounds me; creating complex dimensions represented by layers, multiple lines, colors and figures. I intend to deconstruct and decontextualize form and figure, breaking out the formality of geometry. Usually I work in two or more series simultaneously. This methodology allows me to balance and integrate each composition and play with adding and subtraction at the same time.v
CA Art Collective / cCMX, Mexico & Buenos Aires, Argentina
At CA Art Collective, we recognize that art exists because it is built in community, from production to appreciation. We seek to assert that we exist for what we are. The nature of what is human, divine, terrestrial, the cosmos, and the different realities, are condensed in our works of art, showing that it is possible to be and not to be at the same time, making both options, a cosmic probability. Always together, we anticipate the uncertainty of the environment, and we establish harmony through geometry. We achieve this by walking though a temporary maze, an imaginative composition in which it is necessary to face many crossroads at a time: alternatives that stop being alternatives when opting simultaneously for all of them at once, thus creating various lines that are multiplied, intercept and diverge where all outcomes occur and each one is the starting point of other bifurcations that materialize in angles and shapes.

Nicholas Milkovich / Chicago & Boston, USA
The human body is a perfectly fabricated machine made up of nature’s most clever designs. As a biomechanical engineer and sculptor, my practice sits in a foundation of material science and structure. In this way, my work has always been closely linked to research. All things in biology are made up of networks of smaller microstructures; atoms, cells, and limbs are units that interconnect to form meshworks of utility. Connection and configuration dictates the characteristics of the macrostructure. In my installations, I mimic biological motif in an effort to both overwhelm and control processes otherwise left passive. Calling attention to these features can have the added effect of eliciting the uncanny. I use this register in my work to express feelings of bodily “wrongness”, both physical and internal. I also balance that feeling with my own enthusiasm for the body’s complex structure through color and a wide variety of materials.

Jerry Shai Sarig / Tel Aviv, Isreal
Sarig’s practice explores the topic of childhood; memories and her own early drawings inspire her craft.

Ramiro Ávila / Guadalajara, Mexico
Avila’s work explore different disciplines with the aim of approaching to the notion of the elusive, using ways of different knowledge that take place in supernatural, superstition, mythology and ritual. Making his practices expand the possibilities of finding meaning in reality, making everyday experience into speculative depth. This hint of the supernatural concept responds to a curiosity about human finitude, which is assumed by Ávila through corporality, daily life and the anecdotical.
