Carla Aparicio

I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in Mexico City, working across photography, textile, and performance. My practice explores the Sacred Feminine as a collective birthright—through ritual, nature, and symbolic embodiment. I transform photographic work into tactile and expanded formats, using abstraction, ancestral references, connection through Nature, and self-portraiture as entry points to emotional and spiritual mapping.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Communication (Mexico City) and an Occupational Certificate in Photography from Santa Monica College (USA), with additional training at UCLA and Julia Dean Workshops. My training includes traditional textile workshops in Oaxaca, which have informed my ongoing exploration of the Sacred Feminine. I also initiated Handwoven Photography®, a process that transforms photographic works into symbolic textile pieces through collaborative practices. My background includes 500 hours of certified yoga teacher training, which informs the embodied and spiritual dimensions of my work.

In 2023, I completed an art residency at Lagos (CDMX), where I developed interdisciplinary work in photography, textile, and performance. I’ve presented solo shows at Casa Lamm and Lagos, and group exhibitions at CICA Museum (Korea), Experimental Loop (New York), and Museo Tamayo (Mexico City). I’ve also collaborated with textile and rug studios in Nepal and Puebla, and participated in community-led embroidery projects with the Mazahua community, blending art and cultural preservation.
