About Gabriela’s Research and Art Practice
Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda is a media artist and cultural historian with a research focus on feminist media art, research-creation and Latin American art and its diasporas.

Her work has been published in the Feminist Media Histories Journal, Leonardo Music Journal and Media-N the Journal of the New Media Caucus, among others.
