As Colectivo MESETA (Cristina Brambila + Alejandro Araujo), our practice revolves around three main areas: Art, City, and Technology.

We develop research-based projects as well as pedagogical initiatives within the field of non-formal education.

Cristina Brambila is a multimedia artist and curator. Her work’s main theme is the search for the poetry of technology. She holds a Master’s degree in Digital Arts, Motion and Information Technology from the Postgraduate in Arts and Design of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Faculty of Arts and Design of UNAM.

She has developed non-formal education projects in different art institutions such as  UVA of the University Cultural Center of Tlatelolco UNAM, Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico, Tamayo Museum,  among others. She is co-founder of MESETA an interdisciplinary collective dedicated to the research, education and creation of projects on the themes of art, city and technology.  She is currently  associated professor at the Autonomous Metropolitan University UAM-Lerma.

She was awarded with the Young Artists Program fellowship (2019-2020) by the National Fund for Culture and the Arts, FONCA in the category of New Technologies. She has also been the recipient of relevant grants such as Hacking the City, Border Cultural Center 2017 and Piso 16 Cultural Initiatives Laboratory 2018. In 2020 she curated the III STEAM Forum: Virtuality, Context and Interdiscipline, with the collaboration of Fundación Telefónica and the Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico. She also curated the exhibition Visual Devices: Restructuring the Possible at the Multimedia Center of the National Center for the Arts.

Alejandro Araujo is an artist and researcher whose work addresses the complexities of inhabiting contemporary cities. His practice includes site-specific projects that employ different approaches drawn from critical architecture and public art.

His interest in education led him to co-found Meseta in 2015, an art space with a pedagogical focus that operates collaboratively and seeks to foster creative and critical relationships around art, the city, and technology.
