Mónica Alcázar-Duarte
Mónica Alcázar-Duarte is a Mexican–British multi-disciplinary visual artist whose work acknowledges her Indigenous heritage while exploring current ideals of progress. She embraces themes related to science and technology and their influence over society and the natural world. In her projects she mixes images and new technologies, such as augmented reality, to create multi-layered work, producing meaning through seemingly disconnected narratives. In 2023, she was nominated for the Prix Pictet award with ‘Second Nature’ and ‘I am not Data’, as well as was awarded the Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac photography award, and a National Geographic Storytelling Grant. In 2022, she was awarded a residency with Light Work through the Autograph Gallery in London, as well as a Wayfinder Award from National Geographic. Alcázar-Duarte has been granted fellowships by the MEAD Foundation, Ampersand Foundation, Bar-Tur Foundation, and the British Arts Council. Her work has been collected and exhibited by the Victoria and Albert Museum, MoMa in New York, and Wilhelm Hack Museum in Germany, amongst others.
