ARTIST | PROMOTER
Diana Lizbeth Zuñiga Hernandez
Born in 1999 in Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, Mexico, where she currently resides, she is a self taught Hñähñu visual artist, muralist, and promoter.
Her artistic practice explores identity, memory, territory and through painting, muralism, and mixed-media techniques, creating dialogue ancestral between knowledge a the of Hñähñu communities and contemporary artistic languages.
Her work is deeply connected to the Mezquital Valley and the ways of life of her community. Through imagery that frequently places Indigenous women as bearers of knowledge, memory, and cultural continuity, she addresses themes of belonging, the transmission of knowledge, and the persistence of tradition in the present.
In her creative process, she incorporates materials and references drawn from the cultural heritage of her region, including ayate fiber cloth, ixtle, palm fiber, yarn, ribbons, and traditional embroidery, integrating them into visual compositions that connect memory, identity, and territory. Her interest in Hñähñu culture also extends to poetry and to initiatives that support the revitalization of the Hñähñu language.
She is the founder of the Global Indigenous Collective, an initiative dedicated to strengthening the visibility of Indigenous art and fostering collaborative networks among artists and artisans. In 2023, through this collective, she participated in the Venice Biennale in Italy as part of an exhibition organized by the European Cultural Centre.
Her artistic trajectory is distinguished by the integration of Hñähñu cultural elements into contemporary visual practices, building bridges between the community knowledge of the Mezquital Valley and national and international artistic spaces.
