Maria Adela Diaz is a multidisciplinary Latinx artist, born in Guatemala. Diaz uses her body as a medium to convey her political
deceptions, patriarchal, immigration and discriminating philosophies, with performance, installations, and video, her work points out issues that deal with the Latin American diaspora.
Diaz has participated in many art exhibitions worldwide: Centre Pompidou, Paris France, Ex-Teresa Arte Actual, México City, Museum of Contemporary Art, San José Costa Rica, Somerset House, London UK, among others.
Diaz lives and works in Los Angeles California. As a Latinx artist, my body inhabited the boundaries between visibility and invisibility,
absence and presence of women in contemporary societies, through related performances, films, and installations, I use performance as my main medium to convey my objections to political deceptions, patriarchal societies, immigration laws, and discriminating philosophies.
My practice engages in a dialogue with the body through collective participation and interaction, investigating the convergence of the simulated, the metaphorical, and corporeal reality.
