Alan Sierra (b.Hermosillo, 1990) is an artist who also works as a writer, editor, and educator. His practice includes drawings, texts, sculptures, and live actions. In his projects, he positions reading as an authorial task that goes beyond a receptive activity. He also engages with professions parallel to literature—such as editing, translation, and illustration—to create conditions that allow for a more complex understanding of written culture.
He has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Mexico at Museo Panteón de Belén, 2025; PEANA, 2025; Casa del Lago, CDMX, 2024; Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, CDMX, 2021; and Museo Cabañas, GDL, 2022.
His work has also been exhibited internationally at Castello di Rivoli, Turin,2023; La Capella, Barcelona, 2022; and the Denver Art Museum, Denver, 2021.
In 2019, Gato Negro Ediciones published Nonverbal, his first book of drawings, and in 2021 the same publisher released Fábula encinta, an essay centered on the metaphor of male pregnancy and its instrumentalization in literary practice.
He was part of the SOMA Educational Program from 2019 to 2021 and completed a master’s degree at the Institute Art Gender Nature in Basel, Switzerland.
