I’m Bianca, a Mexican-American artist–designer and educator from Detroit and Los Angeles. My practice involves working in a transdisciplinary manner to re-interpret colonial histories and marginalized identity through investigations on digitization and language. In tandem, I design books, exhibition identities, and websites with collaborators in the social, arts, and culture sectors.
As an educator, I am actively developing decolonial pedagogical frameworks that center transformative learning as a way towards collective liberation.
