Esteban Silva

Esteban Silva (Huixquilucan, 1999) is a visual artist who works with sculpture, participatory art, photography, and writing to reflect on colonialism as an aesthetic order and to imagine the visual powers that might subvert it.

He holds a degree in Visual Communication and has been collaborating since 2023 with the organization Ruta del Castor on the development of public art projects.

His sculptural work has been exhibited in spaces such as PLAGA Contemporary, CROMA, Zona Maco, among others. He has also carried out performative interventions and participatory processes at institutions such as Museo Jumex, Museo Anahuacalli, Arte Abierto, and the Centro de Cultura Digital. His texts explore the relationship between the materiality of the work and situated processes, addressing intersections between ethics, semiotics, and the environment. His current research focuses on biocultural memory and the agency of matter in the face of the climate emergency, seeking to collectivize the creation of symbols rooted in place and reciprocity.
