Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola
Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola is an artist and poet. Her practice develops through conceptual gestures using poetry, sound and performance as research mechanisms. Her first book of poems The Telaraña Circuit carries the traces of interdisciplinary projects exploring memory, archive, immateriality and the haptic, as well as the points of diffusion and synthesis between intimacy, politics and the ecology of sound.
She has exhibited and performed at galleries and venues like Centro de la Imagen (Mexico City), Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (Mexico), Audiograft Festival of Sound Art (Oxford), Chalton Gallery (London), Grice Bench Gallery (Los Angeles), The Poetry Project (NYC), Anthology Film Archives (NYC), among others. Her critical writings & poems have appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, GasTV, Dolce Stil Criollo, Bombay Gin, philoSOPHIA, Precog Mag, and other publications. She received a BFA in Visual & Critical Studies from SVA, and completed the 2-year program at SOMA in Mexico City. In 2013, she co-founded the experimental editorial platform diSONARE, a cross-cultural, experimental editorial platform from Mexico City, and recently started RIZOMA, a series of performance workshops for imprisoned women.
“Her work itself proposes that to listen involves the whole body. Lucia’s poetry moves across the page like an animal trespassing / transmuting the tongue. It transgresses the page, it trans-graces. A poetry that is investigative and ephemeral; it necessarily relies on documentary methods.”
—Carolina Ebeid. Poet, editor.
The Telaraña Circuit will be available in August 1, 2023
