Exploring the Intersection of Art and Technology
ART. CURATION.
PROGRAMMING.
Visionary. Revolutionary.
About
My name is Mario Mesquita
My work delves into the complexities of knowledge and relationships shaped by societal boundaries, all while maintaining a healthy dose of playfulness. Trained in graphic arts, I navigate from thought-provoking dialogues to visually engaging representations, finding a sweet spot of engagement in my advocacy and educational endeavors.
As the son of a first-gen Chicana university graduate, influenced by my upbringing, sharing knowledge has been a cornerstone of both my professional and artistic journey. My practice spans across organizing, education, mentoring, and a playful mix of graphics, installations, photography, and performances.
I value the uniqueness of our experiences and the cultural layers that define us, while also celebrating the common threads that bind us together. From community-based research to counseling in academia, and advocacy of arts and culture, my diverse experiences have shaped how I infuse contemporary art into advocacy and education, both within and beyond traditional settings.
I firmly believe that art is not just about aesthetics but serves as a powerful conduit for learning, social exploration, and catalyzing positive change. I look to embrace the quirks of our journeys while uncovering the shared narratives that connect us all.
