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.
