Espacio Cabeza presents Valeria Michelle's first exhibition: Hidrodistopías o hacia una experiencia corpo-comunal acuáticaunder the curatorship of Mayra Vineya and Marco Valtierra.

Valeria Michelle graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts at the University of Guadalajara. She is currently a scholarship recipient of Young Creators of the Support System for Creation and Cultural Projects (FONCA) issue 2023-2024. In 2021 she was a recipient of the Jalisco Artistic Creation and Development Stimulus Program (PECDA) in the Alternative Media category, and that same year she was selected to participate in the Turn it Around! Flashcards for Education Futures by the Artist’s Literacies Institute, Arizona State University, Open Society Foundation, and UNESCO. In 2023 she was a resident artist of the program This Seed Will Germinate (everything you change changes you) by Gabriel Camnitzer taught by LA ESCUELA and the Jalisco School of Arts. He has exhibited collectively in the Sala Juárez (LARVA), Trámite Bureau of Collectors, International Book Fair (FIL) Children Guadalajara, Raúl Anguiano Museum, ARMENDAGUER Gallery, Interior 2.1, José Clemente Orozco Workshop House Museum, Jorge Martínez Art Laboratory, Institute Cultural Cabañas, among others.

Through drawing, graphics, pictorial, installation, performance, and co-creations with biological systems, she explores the behavior of human beings in their ecopolitical relationship with the environment and its consequences. In her research she intertwines the links between art, education, politics, and science, to question the utilitarian separation of nature from speculative forms to biopower.
