Caro Andrade
Artista visual, investigadora y arquitecta nacida en Xalapa, Veracruz, México (1991). Su práctica artística surge de una relación cercana con el paisaje montañoso y húmedo de la región central de Veracruz, así como de haber crecido en los márgenes territoriales y sociales de su ciudad de origen. La historia de migración de su familia desde las altas montañas hacia la ciudad ha influido en su manera de comprender el territorio, la memoria y las transformaciones del paisaje. A partir de ello, desarrolla una observación sensible de los entornos naturales y de las relaciones afectivas, políticas y culturales que existen en ellos.
Estudió Arquitectura en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, donde obtuvo Diploma al Mérito. Su interés se ha enfocado particularmente en los espacios no construidos, los paisajes intermedios y las tensiones entre naturaleza, urbanización y memoria. Su trabajo investiga cómo los territorios son transformados por ideas de progreso, procesos extractivos y dinámicas de ocupación que modifican tanto los ecosistemas como las formas de vida vinculadas a ellos.
A través de una práctica interdisciplinaria, utiliza medios como cerámica, fotografía, instalación, performance, collage, dibujo, registro sonoro, audiovisual y autopublicación para construir narrativas poéticas y críticas sobre la relación entre seres humanos y territorio. Su trabajo suele combinar procesos de archivo, cartografía, observación de campo y exploraciones materiales vinculadas al paisaje.
Desde 2021 desarrolla Tizne Cerámica, un proyecto personal de cerámica de alta temperatura iniciado en la ciudad de Xalapa.
Ha participado en estancias académicas y talleres en Argentina, Japón, China, Croacia y Rumania. Ha colaborado con despachos y espacios de investigación como Taller Gabriela Carrillo y Taller Frida Escobedo en Ciudad de México.
En 2022–2023 fue beneficiaria de la beca Jóvenes Creadores del Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales (SACPC). También obtuvo una beca completa para realizar una residencia artística en Les Écoles d’Art Américaines de Fontainebleau, donde recibió el Prix ex aequo de Dessin Anthony Tappé.
En 2025 fue aceptada en la residencia “Visual Arts: Early Career Banff Artist in Residence – Summer 2025” en Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity y obtuvo una beca del Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales para cursar el MA Situated Practice en University College London, Reino Unido.
Carolina Andrade “Tizne”
Visual artist, researcher, and architect born in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico (1991). Her artistic practice emerges from a close relationship with the mountainous and humid landscape of central Veracruz, as well as from growing up within the territorial and social margins of her hometown. Her family’s history of migration from the high mountains to the city has shaped her understanding of territory, memory, and landscape transformation. Through this lens, she develops a sensitive observation of natural environments and the affective, political, and cultural relationships embedded within them.
She studied Architecture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where she graduated with a Diploma of Merit. Her interests have focused particularly on unbuilt spaces, intermediate landscapes, and the tensions between nature, urbanization, and memory. Her work investigates how territories are transformed by ideas of progress, extractive processes, and occupation dynamics that alter both ecosystems and the ways of life connected to them.
Through an interdisciplinary practice, she works with media such as ceramics, photography, installation, performance, collage, drawing, sound recording, audiovisual media, and self-publishing to construct poetic and critical narratives about the relationship between human beings and territory. Her work often combines archival processes, cartography, field observation, and material explorations linked to the landscape.
Since 2021, she has developed Tizne Cerámica, a personal high-fire ceramics project initiated in the city of Xalapa.
She has participated in academic residencies and workshops in Argentina, Japan, China, Croatia, and Romania. She has collaborated with architectural studios and research spaces such as Taller Gabriela Carrillo and Taller Frida Escobedo in Mexico City.
From 2022–2023, she was a recipient of the Jóvenes Creadores fellowship from the Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales (SACPC). She also received a full scholarship to undertake an artistic residency at Les Écoles d’Art Américaines de Fontainebleau, where she was awarded the Prix ex aequo de Dessin Anthony Tappé.
In 2025, she was accepted into the “Visual Arts: Early Career Banff Artist in Residence – Summer 2025” at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and was awarded a scholarship from the Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales to pursue the MA Situated Practice at University College London, United Kingdom.
