Biography

Naomi Rincón Gallardo (1979). She lives and works between Mexico City and Oaxaca. From a decolonial feminist and queer perspective, her audiovisual work crafts narratives of desire and dissent against contemporary processes of dispossession and heteropatriarchal violence in neocolonial contexts. Naomi Rincón Gallardo integrates into her mythical-political practice her interests in speculative fiction, music videos, theatrical games, and the manual crafting of props and costumes. She holds a doctorate from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (PhD in Practice Program).
