I am Ana Maria Baquero Tibocha, a graduate artist from the Francisco José de Caldas District University of Bogotá, Colombia. My artistic focus primarily revolves around creating digital animations that portray human behavior collectively, particularly in urban environments or environments affected by mass consumption and production. This interest developed from my own experience in the labor market where I often felt like just another figure feeding into a larger system. Another aspect of my work humorously criticizes the paradigms of femininity exhibited in Latin American soap operas and their role in constructing and reflecting prototypes of family and social roles. My work is usually produced in pixel art video animations, with many of them in the form of a loop, interactive, or complemented by other elements. I also use embroidery, engraving, and painting as tools for my work.

During the residency, Crila Regina from Bogotá aimed to explore the streets of Johannesburg from the perspective of popular work. She worked alongside creative individuals from Johannesburg to create an interactive animation that showcases the economic search as seen through the eyes of the street vendors.

Beyond the pussy 

 

March 8-30, 2019 / Various Artists, San José, Costa Rica

The following is a proposal by Various Artists for a new project titled "BEYOND THE PUSSY". This project aims to explore new aesthetic options around gender studies, self-perception, and self-determination in society. As for me, I am a part of the "Mi llanto enamora" series. This series is constantly growing and consists of animated videos that parody dramatic scenes from Latin American soap operas. My intention is to exaggerate and ridicule the grotesque and normative content of emotional interactions that reflect a macho culture popularly transmitted through television.
