 o reconstitute itself and learn to survive with the technology of the ship
 .\nRubén Ulises Rodríguez Montoya is an artist based in Mexico City. Mon
 toya received his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020. He cr
 eates sculptures that are fantastic beings centered around anthologies and
  social issues concerning border culture\, abjection\, adaptation\, and me
 stizaje. Montoya’s practice is aided by Speculative Fiction\, Nahualismo
 \, Sci-Fi\, and the labor of his family. His work hybridizes and creates p
 arallels between land\, human\, and animal as a way to investigate the pro
 cess in which violence eradicates\, erases\, and erodes communities of col
 or. Upcoming exhibitions include a solo exhibition of new work (ICA San Di
 ego\, 2025–2026). Recent exhibitions include Flow States – LA TRIENAL
  2024 (El Museo de Barrio\, 2024–2025)\, and Skinchangers: Begotten of
  my Flesh (2024).
