Ana Andrade
Tijuana/San Diego, 1987

Transborder artist and thinker living between Tijuana and San Diego. Her research explores the concept of impermanence such as the migration of human beings between territories, and the transformation of matter that inhabits this universe. Her work seeks to dissolve limits of time and space mixing different levels of memory as sociocultural, geological, ancestral, macro/microcosmic, and genealogical, to create reality-based fictions using time-based media, drawing, installation, and text. Her practice also involves documentary photography and film, she produced and co-directed short films and the documentary Donde los Vientos se Cruzan. During her experiential processes she collaborates with communities, family and more than human species. She earned an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California in San Diego and was awarded the Young Artists from the Mexican National Endowment of Art and Culture (FONCA) 2011-2012 and 2016-2017. Her work has been presented and shown in Mexico, California, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Italy, Germany. She recently released her book Rio de Agua Viva designed and published by Taller California at Printed Matter’s New York Art Book Fair.
