Eva Aguila

Eva Aguila is a Mexican American interdisciplinary artist whose work examines the complexities of diasporic identity through video, sound, and installation. Born in Los Angeles as a first-generation American, Aguila centers her practice on oral histories of the Mexican diaspora, particularly drawing from her ancestral communities in rural Michoacán. Her research-driven work engages with personal archives and the materiality of memory, examining the in-betweenness of the Latiné experience.

Inspired by ephemerality and Indigenous Futurism, Aguila uses time-based media to construct alternative histories and reimagine cultural narratives of the diaspora. Her practice challenges dominant portrayals while honoring the lived experiences and stories of her community.

She has exhibited and performed locally at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History; the Vincent Price Art Museum; SUR:biennial; CURRENT:LA FOOD; and internationally in Mexico, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Aguila holds an MFA from USC Roski and a BFA from CalArts.
