Ecatepec, Estado de México

Mariana García Ortiz

She was born in one of the original towns of Ecatepec, Santa Clara Coatitla. University dropout. The main reason is still unclear, it may be the distance from Ecatepec to Xochimilco, the classism with which the art system develops, or the incompatibility with the academic forms of the former National School of Plastic Arts (ENAP). In 2012, she begins a self-taught training that extends to body exploration, the exercise of the voice, collective learning processes in ex-centric spaces (or wrongly called peripheral) and the defense of territories, physical and symbolic. She is a writer despite her already colonized language, she has managed to hold on to these foreign signs thanks to the love of those who believe in her words. Trafficker of the knowledge that the academy has stolen. Co-founder of Casa Experimenta, a community space from feminisms focused on the exploration of artistic thought in Santa Clara Coatitla, Ecatepec. She is a member of the collective Museo Arte Contemporáneo Ecatepec.
