Profile

  • Born 1975 in Mexico City, Mexico. Based in Mexico City, Mexico.

Minerva Cuevas creates research-based projects that allow the audience an insight into the social sphere through site-specific actions and artworks. She researches the notions of value, exchange, and property inherent to the capitalist system and its social consequences to explore the latent possibility of rebellion implicit in everyday life. Her work encompasses a wide range of media-installation, video, muralism, sculpture, and public intervention to explore our familiar visual references like the ones of commercial branding to question the notions present in our political imaginary, facilitating channels of social communication. The main areas of her research have been: ecology movements, anthropology, and corporate history. She founded Mejor Vida Corp in 1998 and the International Understanding Foundation in 2016.
