Artista de performance e historiadora mexicana. Su trabajo explora la injusticia ambiental, social y política que afecta a gran parte de la sociedad. Trabajando desde el cuerpo busca la potencialidad del performance como herramienta transformadora. En sus acciones, a menudo utiliza elementos del pasado prehispánico, y otros medios como el teatro, la danza y la poesía. A través de esta mezcla trata de disolver tabús culturales que han sido construidos bajo un sistema patriarcal. Le interesa erosionar las nociones preconcebidas de género, identidad, sexualidad y arte con el fin de generar una reflexión sobre la realidad social.
A menudo realiza presentaciones en espacios públicos y ha participado en eventos como el 9 Encuentro de Performance para la (v)ida María Teresa Hincapié de Colombia, el IV Encuentro Nacional de Performance (ENAPE) de México, el 3er Festival Internacional de Performance Performancia de México y la Bienal Internacional de Performance PerfoArtNet, entre otros.
Arantxa Araujo
https://www.arantxaaraujo.com/
Es una artista mexicana multidisciplinaria con experiencia en neurociencia con sede en Nueva York. Araujo está interesada en cómo el arte despierta conciencia utilizando video, instalaciones multimedia, LEDs y performances utilizando su cuerpo. Su trabajo explora el comportamiento humano en cuanto a construcción de identidad y de normas sociales, roles de género y políticas de migración. Araujo usa su cuerpo en movimiento y quietud, en duraciones prolongadas y en rituales, para comprender física, energética y mentalmente lo que implica la realidad. Creando oportunidades para contemplar, reflexionar y tomar conciencia. Solo a través de la conciencia, los individuos pueden tomar decisiones informadas como el primer paso en el cambio personal y social.

Nace en la ciudad de México en 1991, es una artista multidisciplinaria. Desde la trinchera de lo bidimensional transita por el collage, la narrativa gráfica, la búsqueda formal del dibujo y la experimentación. Actualmente es colaboradora del grupo-taller de edición de publicaciones Zúngale. A partir de la investigación y reapropiación del recorte y la reverberación tiene una práctica artística en lenguajes como: el arte sonoro en su espectro radiofónico en fm o en plataformas por internet, formas y expresiones corporales que buscan la desculonización a partir de prácticas en coreografía y danza ritual.

Doris Steinbichler
http://doris.steinbichler.biz/doris.html
is an improviser, performance artist and curator traveling between Austria and Mexico. Her art cuts across genres and locates itself between performance art, visual art and noise, electronic and free improvised music. As her main tools she uses analoge projectors, her voice, sound devices and visual tools to make unconscious contradictions within ourselves visible. This artistic strategy is an ongoing investigation in experimental psychology and shamanism as an answer to mental health issues in urban life at the beginning to the 21st century.
1993 she was awarded a price in Performance Art (Ex Teresa Performance Festival, Mexico City, Mexico) and 2000 in Radio Art (Bienal de Radio, Mexico City, Mexico). She contributed to the mexican independent art scene with her own artist run space “Epicentro” which hosted more than 100 shows, performances, installation, multimedia and dance events in the years 1999 to 2004. She was the founder and co-organizer of the independent, week long radio festival “Re-mediar“ (Mexico City, Mexico, 2002), and founded the expanded cinema and analogue projection collective „La Trinchera Ensamble“ (Mexico, 2004), and „4 shrooms“ (Austria, 2007). She has frequent participations in Performance Art Festivals in Europe and overseas.
