posted by Laura Kaker on 13 January 2021

This is the first entry in a series of blog posts by Mayra Citlalli Rojo Gómez, who is currently doing an online residency as part of our Biofriction project.

Mayra is an artist, interdisciplinary researcher, and curator in visual arts and body discourses (gender and race). She developed postdoctoral research about bacterial cellulose. Currently, she works with critical associations between symbiosis, evolution-teratology, and diffuse identities, which interrogate the limits between the human and the non-human in vegetal and bacterial universes.
