Giovanni Fabián Guerrero

Purépecha artist, graduate of the Facultad Popular de Bellas Artes at UMSNH. His visual work emerges from the collective memory of his home community, Cherán. "The anthropological and ethnographic" define a relationship with the social, political, mystical, and cultural aspects as an apprehension of his identity, rooted in communal thought. His large-format paintings create a ritual space where each of his characters exists in an alterity interwoven with the forest, linked to the prolific heritage of his ancestors. His installations and sculptures emerge from a territorial space within a symbolic imaginary, thus creating a contemporary narrative from a critical reflection on modernity. Some of his most significant exhibitions to date include: "Arte de los pueblos de México. Disrupciones indígenas" at Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes (Mexico City, 2022); "Memorabilia" at NOME Gallery (Berlin, 2022); "Levantar la sombra" at Llano Galería (Mexico City, 2022); "Uinapikua" with Colectivo Cherani at MUAC (Mexico City, 2022); "KIXPATLA: Change of view, change of face. Art and Cosmopolitics" at Colegio de San Ildefonso (Mexico City, 2021); "Juchári K'eri K'uinchekua. Our space of encounter" at Bienal Femsa (Morelia, Michoacán, 2021); AMEXICA at The Servais Family Collection and The Loft (Belgium, 2021); "CHERANI: Empowerment of one’s own identity" at Palacio Clavijero (Morelia, 2019); and "La Panza de las Ausencias" at Salón Acmé N° 7 (Mexico City, 2019).
