I am a researcher and curator, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Anthropology at New York University (NYU). I have a background in Philosophy and Social Sciences and a MA in Curatorial Studies from CCS, Bard College, New York. Between 2021-2022 I was a Hevey-Filling Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Since 2023 I collaborate with Local Contexts, a global initiative that supports Indigenous communities with tools that attribute cultural authority of heritage and data.
My research outlines transdisciplinary modes of knowledge production and transmission, analyzes cultural exchanges between Mexico and the United States, and approaches museums, archives, and collections as contact zones. My recent projects include “Paricutín: An Archive like Lapilli” (ongoing research) and the exhibitions Eje Neovolcánico. Aproximaciones Artísticas al Paisaje Ígneo (Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, 2023), Ing. Jorge Matute Remus. La técnica al servicio de la ciudad (Museo Cabañas, Guadalajara, 2022); and Uxmal-on-Hudson: Migrant Mutants and Fake Ruins (Hessel Museum of Art, New York, 2021).
I am currently a fellow of Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT México) and between 2019-2021 I was awarded the Jumex Foundation Grant to study abroad. In 2021 I was awarded the Ramapo Curatorial Prize to extend my MA thesis research with the curatorial project Notes on Anarchaeology, to be presented in Fall 2023. I am 1/4 of the curatorial collective Department of Love.
I live and work between Guadalajara, Mexico and New York City.
