Bio


Maria Ezcurra es una artista, educadora y madre nacida en Argentina y criada en México, que actualmente vive en Tiohtià:ke-Montreal. Su investigación visual se centra en el poder cultural de los objetos personales, la construcción social de género a través de la ropa, la memoria, la identidad, la pertenencia y la inmigración, muchas veces desde una perspectiva participativa. Los textiles -un elemento central de su trabajo- son para ella un material escultórico y un recurso performativo que tienen innumerables beneficios formales y posibilidades simbólicas. Al entrelazar experiencias sociales y personales desde una perspectiva interseccional, sus esculturas e instalaciones representan las múltiples y complejas relaciones involucradas en la construcción de la identidad personal y colectiva. María ha participado en numerosas exposiciones, entre ellas en el Museo de Arte Moderno de la Ciudad de México y en el Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo de la UNAM (México), la Galería Carl Freedman (Reino Unido), como parte de Nuit Blanche y la Galería Sur (Toronto, Canadá), el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo y el Museo de Bellas Artes de Montreal, Art Souterrain y los centros de artistas OBORO, La Centrale Powerhouse, así como Projet Casa (Montreal, Canadá). También ha tenido la oportunidad de participar en varias residencias artísticas, entre ellas Adélard (2022) y en el 3e impérial, centre d'essai en art actuel (2023) y es miembro fundador del colectivo de arte Intervals, un grupo de artistas y trabajadores culturales interesados en el papel social del arte. María ha impartido clases de arte en diversas universidades y organizaciones de México y Canadá durante los últimos 20 años y ha desarrollado diversos proyectos de arte público, participativo y comunitario en diversos contextos. Después de completar un doctorado en Educación Artística en la Universidad de Concordia, trabajó como artista en residencia en la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad McGill, donde actualmente da clases. Su carrera ha sido reconocida con el Premio a la Diversidad en las Artes Visuales del Consejo de Artes de Montreal (2019), el Premio Powerhouse (2022) y, más recientemente, fue finalista del Premio en Arte Actual del Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec (2023).
