DANIELA LIBERTAD
(Mexico, 1983)
EDUCATION
Daniela Libertad explores the relationship between the ancestral and everyday life,
through the reenactment of both intimate and social rituals, which pace our existence.
Her multifaceted projects include public actions, installations, videos, drawings, and
photography. Across these different media, Libertad’s work expresses the thin line that
can exist between a philosophical discourse and the uncanny concerns. She recently
worked on an investigation of the concept of the offering, and of what it is done to attract
or please others from our deepest consciousness. This exploration is connected with the
ancient Mexican rituals and religious syncretism of Cuban Santeria.
