Ecologías invisibles. Dialogues between art, science, and technodiversities in Latin American environmental thought

In these times of environmental instability, imagining and re-building other forms of planetary cohabitation becomes a fundamental task. Embracing the care of the terrestrial also means relocating to those other non-human times and integrating into the complexity of other possible lines of life and agency.

Throughout this conversation, artist, researcher, educator, and curator Gabriela Munguia invites us to approach different ecosocial issues in Latin American territories through undisciplined crossings between art, invisible ecologies, environmental thought, and the use of open-source technology and hardware.

About Gabriela Munguia

Mexican transmedial artist. In her work, she draws on different Latin American cosmovisions, speculative thought, and the undiscipline between art and technoscience to address issues of geopolitics, reciprocity between species, and environmental protection. Her work incorporates robotic, interactive, sound, and light installations, sound performance, and experimental formative and community projects. She is currently the director of the Diploma in Environmental Humanities at the intersection of art and technology at UNTREF. She is the founder of the Laboratorio de Ecologias Invisibles, a nomadic program of creation and experimentation that crosses art, environment, and the development of open-source technologies. She is the co-founder of the collective Electrobiota and a member of the Observatorio de Estudios Interespecies, AIseeds Project, and Colectiva Ecoesteticas. She has received various recognitions including the Mentorship Award Prince Claus-Institut Goethe Cultural and Artistic Response to Environmental Change, CIFO-ARS Electronica, Honor Mention PRIX Ars Electronica Interactive Art, among others. Her work has been exhibited in international shows and festivals in the Americas, Europe, Egypt, and Iran.
