Carlos A. Mora

Espacio Cabeza presents Tierra bardía, a solo exhibition by Carlos A. Mora (Guadalajara, 1983). In the exhibition the artist continues to explore a series of intersections and relationships between ecology and politics; architecture and the environment to draw attention to the degradation and exploitation of the natural territory.

In 2023 he carried out his first artistic production and research residency at PADA Studios, Lisbon, Portugal. His work was part of the artistic programming of the Poetic Disagreement.
