Outgoing and kind. The type of person that can hangout without being a bore. Probably more into trying to connect with others while Im here than finding a partner. I grew up in Northern Mexico and have worked around Asia and the US. First time in Europe. :3

Recent graduate of the Art Instute of Chicago with a concentration in Fiber and Material Studies. So my conversations revolve around cultural capital and communes these days.

work: diasporas and self exiles, meta-modernisms. video, installation and sculpture with writing elements. I also am a teacher.

Leisure: Figuring out what projects to continue while abroad. expand my curatorial practices. Meeting new and interesting individuals that share the same goals. hashtagdestroythepatriarchy

Musik, Filme und Bücher

-reading: Currently obsessed with Karl Ove Knausgaard and Luxun Ciu. Finished The Argonauts recently, so I'm trying to develop a writing practice that has Nelson's kindness and criticality.

-fav foods are korean, mexican and anything that can be shared easily.

-Music: Grew up with black metal and techno, these days big band and podcasts are the majority of my listening diet.

-Shows: dont have much time to watch the TV, but I am always interested in recommendations for movies & docs.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I won a prestigious residency from my school awarded to only one person in the graduating class.

I've also done gluten free Thanksgiving for a special friend.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Going to a place and figuring out how to let things play out.

Im a good conversationalist.
