Paloma Ayala

She is a diaspora mother and a mestiza daughter whose work fictionalizes historical, ecological or social problematics as means of analysis and critique. Paloma's projects nourish visions of connection between human and more than human spheres, they dream of emancipation from marginalizing dominant structures, and emphasize practices of care. Her favorite spaces to work range from kitchen to river shore, from international bridge to cropland, from community meeting to aquelarre. Her art production takes the form of publications, videos, reading or cooking sessions and installations directed to different public, including human outside of cultural institutions. Paloma's work is rooted in her home, the eastern US/MX border landscapes, simultaneously blooming in her current base in Zurich.
