Melania Trejo (b. México city, 1977). By choice, a mother, a wife and a migrant. In her work, Melania explores ‘radical care’, a framework in development to rethink community, pedagogy and education in the arts along the axes of structures of hyper-capitalism. Her thinking is rooted in intersectional feminism, social studies and indigenous knowledge. This interdisciplinary approach is reflected in her practice alongside an element of autobiography that is always present in her work, showing an inclination for self-reflectivity and a constant attitude for situating herself in time and space.

Melania has a Bachelor degree in Psychology, a Masters degree in International and Public Health and is currently studying the BA Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague.

Currently lives and works in The Hague.
