Collective dedicated to artistic and cultural research, management, and mediation, based in Costa Rica and composed of Marga Sequeira, Mariela Richmond, and Catalina Tenorio. Active between 2018 and 2023, the collective focused on the design, management, research, and mediation of participatory processes from a transdisciplinary perspective, integrating the arts, education, history, anthropology, management, among other fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their research work centered on exploring poetic practices and the epistemology of the arts as tools for community organization and cohesion. They also approached festivity as a means of learning, collective making as a political gesture, and the archive as a form of human connection.<\/p>\n

The collective carried out projects in Mexico, Chile, Germany, Costa Rica, and other countries. It was a recipient of the Catalizadora Grant, awarded by the TEOR\/\u00e9Tica foundation to Central American organizations dedicated to cultural and artistic management, and was part of the Empathetic Pedagogies Network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Researcher, curator, and university professor. Co-founder of LaRuidosaOficina. Her work in visual arts focuses on subaltern history and unofficial narratives, exploring ways of materializing research beyond the written text. Through curatorial exercises, visual memory projects, public space interventions, and collective research-creation processes, she seeks to position Central America as a site of knowledge production linked to activism, resistance, and critical pedagogies. She is currently developing \"anarchives\" on LGTBIQ+ memory in Central America and independent spaces for artistic education. She has received grants from TEOR\/\u00e9Tica, FFAI, and hablarenarte. She holds a degree in Art History from the University of Costa Rica, with additional studies in philosophy, activism, and gender. She also earned a diploma in the Anthropology of Art (LATIR Institute) and a master's degree in Visual Arts and Cultural Studies from Universitat Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez (Spain).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
