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. In SIAT, she directs the Critical Media Arts Studio (cMAS). She is the author of the award-winning book Women Made Visible: Feminist Art and Media in post-1968 Mexico (Nebraska Press, 2019).  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. She produces video installations, sculptures, digital projects, print media and live performances that investigate the body as a site of cultural, gendered and techno-scientific inscriptions. Gabriela is a member of art/mamas, a Vancouver-based collective of artist mothers and is the Vancouver regional coordinator of TFAP (the Feminist Art Project) Rutgers University.

cMAS is an interdisciplinary research studio that experiments with research methods and theories to explore the implications of working across media and disciplines. Members of cMAS develop work that interrogate how old and new technologies have and continue to shape our sense of self and the environment informed by media studies, feminist epistemologies postcolonial, and decolonial theory.
