Guadalupe Martinez is an artist and educator making works that reflect on what she’s defined as "sensorial aesthetics" and "expansive pedagogies." Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, she immigrated to Vancouver in 2008, where she lives and works—conscious of her presence on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. Guadalupe’s work explores the capacity for creative processes to generate forms of wisdom and world-making. Her ongoing project CUERPO collective-body is a fluid group of emerging artists and mentors who share knowledge, movement and touch to create a practice where embodied learning transforms conventional approaches to art production and education. Martinez’ work often takes the form of installation, performance and collaborative research with a deep consideration for her personal and inherited histories. She has presented work in Canada, the US, Italy, Mexico and Argentina.
