‘Allow myself to be naive.’ 🇲🇽🇬🇧 Two years ago I really struggle with the academic language required to be studying in the UK, of course I still learning the British culture, developing more articulated conversations and academic writings but I do remember how my room in Mexico City was full of random vocabulary, london maps and self-motivation pictures on the wall, to see them every morning and catch them all beforehand. This picture taken by @iammontiel is evidence of the ongoing process of learning how to communicate properly. Time goes fast and I am so happy to announce that I will soon speak about my MA research in symposiums hosted by four of the most well known universities in the UK. So, If you want to hear what I have done in my artistic practice, how I am crossing borders in the UK and Europe through publishing and future work in Mexico, keep one of the following dates and venues in mind. • 28th of May, University of the Arts London • 1st of June, Oxford University • 14th June, University of Warwick • 26-28 June, Cambridge University #mexicocity #mexico #uk #weareual #udgenelmundo #symposiums #speaker #english #research #artist #bookarts #publishing #youngster #naive #london (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxg0IROgSVz/?igshid=11r6ryc6g70b0

And this is how it looks now my working desk space at the beginning of my last term at MA Book Arts. 🇬🇧 I’m grateful to be here with the generous support of @udg_oficial, nearly ending an important education stage of my life which confirms my truly passion for making books and getting to know an international community behind the process, but also reaching new audiences and untold damage by the publishing industry. 📚 Hopefully, I will graduate successfully in July and go back to Mexico afterwards to enhance with innovation our culture, literature and visual arts. 🇲🇽 #reflectivejournal #publishing #bookarts #camberwell #weareual #mexico #uk #london #bookartist #culture #literature #arts #educationisgreat #freeeducation #affordableeducation (at Camberwell College of Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxea0RVg-al/?igshid=ehszasv4tao7

Happy to share that a collaborative work with the British artist Cat Miller was shortlisted to be part of “Camaradas: UK – Mexico Art Competition” at Menier Gallery, London. We produced a concrete poetry art inspired by Luciano De Crescenzo’s quote: “We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another”, accompanied by a pamphlet of poems featuring translations in different languages. We wonder how the same poem can be interpretated and embraced in English, Spanish, Italian, French and for this special occasion in P’urhépecha with the translation of León Axuni Language is pivotal in the areas of human rights protection, good governance, peace building, reconciliation, and sustainable development. 2019 is celebrated by UNESCO as the International Year of Indigenous Language. According to them ‘It is through language that we communicate with the world, define our identity, express our history and culture, learn, defend our human rights and participate in all aspects of society, to name but a few. Through language, people preserve their community’s history, customs and traditions, memory, unique modes of thinking, meaning and expression. They also use it to construct their future.’ Thanks to The Embassy of Mexico, this exhibition is comprised of artworks that have been selected as finalists of the sixth edition of the “Camaradas” art completion, an initiative from the Embassy of Mexico that invites British and Mexican artists to form a partnership and to engage in a dialogue on a subject of their choosing. The artworks showcased in the exhibition range across painting, photography, video and sculpture, expressing how the artists have learnt from each other but also how they have discovered unsuspected cultural common grounds they share. The winning piece has been selected by a panel of judges comprised by leading figures in the art world.
