ARTIST | PROMOTER
Diana Lizbeth Zuñiga Hernandez
Born in 1999 in Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, Mexico, where she currently resides, she is an artist, muralist, and Hñähñu cultural promoter whose work focuses on the preservation and contemporary projection of the indigenous identity of the Mezquital Valley.
She is the founder of the Global Indigenous Collective, an initiative aimed at increasing the visibility of indigenous art in national and international spaces, as well as fostering networks of collaboration among Indigenous artists. The collective is currently made up of artists and artisans from various states across Mexico and continues to incorporate new voices with the goal of strengthening and projecting the work of its members on a global scale.
In 2023, through the Global Indigenous Collective, she participated in the Venice Biennale in Italy, organized by the European Cultural Centre, contributing to the presence of proposals connected to Indigenous communities within an internationally recognized cultural platform.
Her artistic practice encompasses painting and muralism, integrating elements of identity, memory, and territory. She also creates handcrafted pieces using the traditional backstrap loom technique, an ancestral knowledge that is part of Hñähñu cultural heritage and plays a vital role in sustaining textile traditions within her community.
Additionally, she has participated in courses, workshops, and literary gatherings focused on the Hñähñu language, earning certificates and recognitions that support her commitment to linguistic and cultural preservation and revitalization.
A self-taught artist, her trajectory reflects a strong commitment to the dignification, dissemination, and international projection of Hñähñu culture from the Mezquital Valley.
