Naomi Rincón Gallardo
Born in Raleigh, 1979 and lives in Mexico City
Mexican Visual Artist and Educator. BA in Visual Arts, “La Esmeralda”, Mexico City. MA in Education: Culture, Language and Identity/Crossectoral and Community Arts, Goldsmiths University of London. Candidate for the PhD in Practice at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Understanding research as an artful and transdisciplinary fabrication, her latest work addresses initiatives related to the creation of counter-worlds in the recent past in Mexico. She uses irony, masquerade lenses and queer methodologies to create a place between radical utopian experiences, fantasy and crises of beliefs. Rincón Gallardo integrates her interest in music, literature, theater games, feminisms, queer theory and critical pedagogy into her work. Alongside her artistic work, she has been involved in institutional and non-institutional education settings and community projects, both teaching and coordinating.
