Marina Lopez (she/her) is a Mexican American performing and socially engaged artist, massage therapist/somatic educator, and cultural organizer. Her experience as a bodyworker is essential to her practice as an artist because we can’t separate the art from the body that makes it. Care work is culture work. As an artist, her work is an interdisciplinary weaving of many voices that links to history, social movements, and tradition. She is a co-organizer and creative collaborator with Art.coop. Marina also hosts, Remember the Future, a podcast about QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color) creatives who are firing their bosses, freeing the land, and building livelihoods based on care, cooperation, mutual aid, and solidarity. Marina seeks to create work that articulates and provides an embodied cognition of the ways in which art, culture, and care are foundational within a thriving society. Her work challenges the status quo of who we as a society uplift as expert voices, and inspires curiosity, collaboration, and solidarity.
