Jackie Amézquita
Jackie Amézquita (b. 1985, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, whose work explores the ecological, ancestral, and ontological dimensions of space and time. She uses biomaterials—earth, charcoal, rain, masa, limestone—as living mediums to reflect on memory, transformation, and the impermanence of all living systems. Through installations, performances, sculptures, and paintings, Amézquita reimagines borders as dynamic channels of encounter, tension and renewal, revealing the deep interconnection of human and non-human worlds. Her practice advocates for a radical ethics of care, reciprocity, and multi-species solidarity, challenging anthropocentric perspectives.
