Born in the Sierra Madre mountains of Durango, Mexico, alma is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose work explores migration, grief, and ecological loss through video, sculpture, print, and writing. Drawing from training in anthropology and literature, their practice engages Indigenous methodologies and decolonial research to examine the material and emotional afterlives of displacement. Working with everyday substances like lard, salt, and butcher paper, they trace the poetics of undocumented life across borders. Their work resists singular narratives, embracing ritual, memory, and abstraction as tools for survival and storytelling within and beyond institutional frameworks.
