Naomi Rincón Gallardo (b. 1979, Mexico) lives and works between Oaxaca and Mexico City, Mexico. From a decolonial-queer perspective, her critical-mythical worldmaking addresses the creation of counter-worlds in neocolonial settings. In her work she integrates her interests in theater games, popular music, Mesoamerican cosmologies, speculative fiction, vernacular festivities and crafts, decolonial feminisms and queer of color critique. She holds a BFA degree in Visual Arts from ENPEG La Esmeralda, Mexico, an MA degree in Education, Culture Language and Identity from Goldmiths University of London, UK, and a PhD in Practice at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Austria.
