Melania Trejo (b. México city, 1977) is an artist, activist and educator. By choice, a mother, a wife and a migrant. In her work, Melania explores ‘radical care’, a method and manifestation of practice: a framework in development to rethink community, pedagogy and education in the arts along the axes of structures of hyper-capitalism and climate change. Her thinking is rooted in intersectional feminism, psychology and indigenous knowledge. This interdisciplinary approach alongside an element of autobiography are 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 graduated BA Fine Arts from the Royal Academy of Arts The Hague in July 2025.
Currently lives and works in The Hague.
“perhaps the most fundamental to the origin of my work is curiosity and a deep love of and respect for the natural world, and the complexities of the human experience [behaviour, interactions, idiosyncrasies, our contradictory nature…].”
