We were honored to debut Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya piece in CDMX, especially since this was Ruben's first unveiling of his work in native land, Mexico. Ascension is about transmuting fear into love and illuminating the truth in all of its pandemonium forms.
Born 1989 in Parral, MX, Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya’s lil monsters are a fantastic becoming that center around anthologies and social issues concerning border culture, abjection, and mestizaje. Aided by magical realism, nahualismo, Sci-Fi, and the labor of his family, his work hybridizes and creates parallels between land, the human, and the animal as a way to investigate the process in which violence eradicates, erases, and erodes communities of color.
