– Casa Wabi 2024

Community Project

Through a collective and oral reading of the works of three authors, strategies were identified to reproduce the creative activity through writing in our context. A series of exercises developed during the sessions resulted in the production of a pamphlet that includes the works of all participants. The main objectives of the project were to exercise literary criticism and decision-making collectively, identify the interests of the participants conduct a careful reading of their material, and highlight the importance of literature and editing as tools for social transformation and historical documentation.

Alan is an artist who collaborates as a writer, editor, and educator for different initiatives. His work consists of drawings, texts, sculptures, and
live acts. In his projects, he positions reading as an authorial task that is not limited to a receptive activity. He is also linked to professions parallel to literature such as editing, translation, and illustration to create conditions that allow an understanding
most complex of written culture. He was part of the SOMA Educational Program 2019-2021 and completed his master’s studies at the Institute of Art Gender Nature in Basel, Switzerland. He has participated in group exhibitions in Mexico at the Carrillo Gil Museum of Art (Mexico City, 2021) and the Cabañas Museum (Guadalajara, 2022). His work has been exhibited internationally at Castello di Rivoli (Turin, 2023), La Capella (Barcelona, 2022), and the Denver Art Museum (2021). In 2019, Gato Negro Ediciones published “Nonverbal”, his first book of drawings, and in 2021 the same publisher released “Fábula encinta”, an essay around the metaphor of male pregnancy and its instrumentalization in literary work.
