Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola

Biography

Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola (Mexico City, 1987) is a poet, artist and performer working in a variety of mediums. Her sound performances and installations often enact the friction and disintegration of language to amplify deeper layers of communication and reciprocity beyond the human, exploring the transmutation of archives, memory, ritual, and the ecology of sound. Her poetry—many times preconceived through somatic, ephemeral and ecopoetic gestures—is crucial to her research-based multidisciplinary practice.

 

She has published the poetry books Templos en erupción (Juan Malasuerte, 2025); The Telaraña Circuit (Tender Buttons, 2023); and O (EBL/Cielo Abierto, 2023) and has released albums of experimental music and poetry including REZO (poema insecto), an ode to the stridulation of insects, and most recently the EP Primer Voltaje and the album Sonando gravedad, both upcoming with the Mexican label Aurora Central Records. 

 

Hinojosa Gaxiola is a graduate of Visual & Critical Studies from The School of Visual Arts and the SOMA Educational Program in Mexico City (2016 - 2018). She has exhibited and performed at Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City); Fonoteca Nacional (Mexico City); Ex-Teresa Arte Actual (Mexico City); Pequod Co. (Mexico City); Arróniz Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City); Vernacular Institute (Mexico City); Microscope Gallery (New York City); The Poetry Project (NYC); among others. She has also participated in residency programs such as Rabbit Island (Michigan); Microtonal Music Studios (Helsinki); and Wendy’s Subway (Brooklyn).

 

With Diego Gerard Morrison she runs and co-edits diSONARE, an experimental editorial platform from Mexico City, publishing bilingual journal-anthologies and books in-translation. diSONARE has curated various poetry and performance festivals and developed projects related to sound, performance, radio and activism.
