María Alejandra Arreola Cortés

She studied Audiovisual Arts. She lives and works in Guadalajara, MX. She is the author of the poetry books California Love (Taller de Ediciones Económicas), Nombre de fantasía (Herring Publishers), and Pegamento y Solvente (Pitzilein Books). She incorporates stolen and self-taken photographs in some of her books. She edited the pamphlet Lenguaje popular, a compilation of fragments around the colloquial language of Mariane Moore, Tamara Kamenszain, Hildegard Von Bingen, and Cecilia Pavón.

She publishes in magazines such as Low-fi Ardentía, Papeles de la Mancuspia, Grafógrafxs, El Septentrión, Luvina, OndaMX, and Replicante, among others. She is a homemaker, writes reviews on art, and manages a workshop specialized in museography and sculptural solutions.

She writes in a degenerate manner. To approach feelings and thoughts. To enter and especially to exit, to explore. The fantasy of writing rehearses the dream of art; writing is akin to listening. The desire for interdependence persists. Writing is a practice that sharpens and enables the third ear that is nourished by all tones.

Alejandra will be in residence at Can Serrat during January-February 2025.
