Biography

Guadalupe Martinez is an artist educator whose work reflects art, pedagogy, and place. She creates spaces of connection, care, and discovery while addressing the relationships between history and memory in her practice. Her ongoing project, CUERPO, examines the collective-body as a methodology to explore embodied research and somatic activism. Martinez works with an emerging group of artists and mentors who share knowledge through movement and touch, advocating for embodied learning that challenges conventional approaches to art production and education. Her practice is a holistic process aimed at liberating the body and self, allowing individuals to occupy spaces within academia and art institutions that are often disembodied. She believes in the importance of intimacy and care intersecting with the creative process. Her work has been exhibited extensively in Argentina, Italy, Mexico, and Canada, including notable venues such as the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Museo del Grabado.
