CARLA ALTESOR

De padre uruguayo y madre de ascendencia Yucateca, Carla Altesor nació en la Ciudad de México. A causa de esta mezcla de costumbres, creció amando desde asados, pastas frescas y Panuchos, hasta “comfort foods” americanos. Guiada por una familia donde todos fueron maestros de clases de cocina, y gracias a la fusión de sabores y culturas, su paladar y conocimiento culinario tuvieron oportunidad de ampliarse desde temprana edad. Carla es Licenciada en Artes Plásticas por la Universidad de las Américas Puebla.

Estando en Cholula, su inquietud la impulsó a abrir un club de comida donde cada semana se preparaban menús de degustación con ingredientes locales. Igualmente, asesoró aperturas de negocios de comida, y empezó a crear y servir pequeños eventos exclusivos.

En 2007 comienza a impartir cursos de cocina particulares y a la par, escribie reseñas de restaurantes para revistas como Saborearte, Sabor y Animal.

Retoma la creación de eventos boutique dentro de la ciudad de México y aún los ejecuta. En 2016 se unió a Sicomoro Ediciones para llevar a cabo el libro Alejandro Ruiz, Cocina de Oaxaca, donde su participación comienza con la investigación culinaria, y pasa por creación, desarrollo prueba, edición de recetas y textos.

Actualmente Carla vive en la Ciudad de México y continúa desarrollando recetas, escribiendo, diseñando y dando asesorías dentro del rubro culinario.

EMMA JATZIRI

Emma Jatziri (1991) is a young contemporary Mexican artist with a Fine Arts Bachelor’s degree from UABC Faculty of Arts, Ensenada. She is a beneficiary of programs such as FONCA’s Young Creators and PECDA. She has received several awards, including the XXI Biennial of Baja California (2017). Collectively, the award “Arte Abierto para todos” (2019), I Biennial of Cultural Diffusion Biodiversity of Mexico (2019), Encuentro Nacional de Arte Joven (2018 and 2019), Salón ACME (2018) and UNAM Biennial (2016).

Emma Jatziri explores the creation of three-dimensional work in which it is possible to perceive elements of the drawing in her sculptures. The wire mesh is the technical solution with which she investigates the plastic and visual capacity of the material, and its construction possibilities.

Her work goes through the filter of personal experience, she does it not by mimetic transcriptions, but from the interpretation of a landscape that she rediscovers, claiming the peculiarities of her environment and of her cultural roots.

Emma Jatziri lives and works in Ensenada, Baja California.

MARCO MARGAIN

This capsule is for all foodies.

Marco Margain is a Mexican chef who practices “liquidation” cooking, referring to the use of ingredients that one has to create a delicious dish.

Marco’s most important projects are: his restaurant, Broka, in the heart of the Roma neighborhood and Hacienda San Andrés, where a large part of the ingredients in his kitchen come from, such as wild mushrooms which come from his organic crops. The union of these projects is focused on the return to the field and sustainable consumption. Both on the farm and in the restaurant work is done according to the natural processes of the earth; taking advantage of and consuming seasonal products.

Marco explains the importance of nourishing the land so that these nutrients are transmitted to the crops. For example, organic waste from the restaurant is returned to the ranch to make compost and livestock food.

This chef practices what some know as ‘agriculture with culture’, an agriculture that helps us regain a farming culture that is closer to nature and processes, respecting the land, the environment and the final product. A sustainable and healthy agri-food system that shows that there are alternatives regarding food production.

A pioneer in the Mexican music scene, his synthesis of African, Latin and Caribbean music with electronic rhythms opened what was an inhospitable route in Mexico. Collaborations with Fake Fazz and Wako Texas allowed him to flex his prowess for live improvisation on the bass, bringing a unique flavor of Jazz and Funk.

The construction of songs and organic sound of instruments translates Sanchez Dub into an exciting live band, a clear example is his latest single “Humans”.

Andrés lives and works in Mexico City.

ENRIQUE MINJARES

Enrique Minjares Padilla (Ensenada, B.C., 1977) is a visual artist graduated from the National School of Plastic Arts at UNAM.

Enrique’s work explores different possibilities of production and perception of the pictorial medium using drawing, painting (the game that can exist between these two) and intervention as means of expression. He seeks that the viewer identifies himself subjectively with his pieces so that he can appropriate them and integrate them into his personal history.

His body of work consists of a series of investigations around the image as a means of representation and concept, dismantling it, to rebuild it from a rethinking of the formal aspects of painting.

Through illustrations of tragedies caused by the retrograde disorder of human consciousness, he crosses the boundaries between fiction, reality and the media narrative of contemporary history.

Starting from themes and series that allude to current society, the artist turns to a visceral work process committed to himself, far from conceptual presumptions or trends.

His work has been exhibited in public and private institutions, in Mexico and abroad.

Enrique lives and works in Mexico City.

TANYA MELÉNDEZ-ESCALANTE

is currently the Chief Curator of Education and Public Programs at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), where she has organized more than 100 public programs. She has worked for the British Council Mexico as a cultural advisor and at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. She was awarded a grant at the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes – FONCA (2002) and a Fulbright-García Robles (2002-2004) too. In 2000, she received the Miguel Covarrubias Award (Bachelor Thesis in Museology) from the National Institute of Anthropology and History. She studied a master’s degree in museology for fashion and textiles at the Technological Institute of Fashion (FIT-New York) and has a degree in Humanities at the University of the Americas – Puebla.

Tanya explains us the complexity of the discipline of fashion, she beleives it must be studied from different perspectives due to the cultural, social and political implications that what we wear and what others wear represents. For Tanya, fashion is a way of expressing our individuality or our belonging to a group. She sees how the performative nature of clothing makes fashion a fertile field for artistic exploration.

‘Cross-Pollination’ is an annual workshop created by Tanya Meléndez. These workshops offer students a space for intercultural dialogue between international educational institutions and the FIT where students have the opportunity to work on fashion-based projects inspired by MFIT exhibitions. In 2012 Tanya Meléndez-Escalante (FIT), Sebastián Romo (Atelier Romo) and the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (SAPS) collaborated on the educational project ‘Cross-Pollination: Masterpieces of the Collections’.

Meléndez-Escalante has worked for the last fifteen years in arts organizations, where she has led and managed projects aimed at displaying and promoting fashion, visual arts, and performing arts, both in Mexico and the United States. Today she lives and works in New York City.
