un recuerdo entre reliquias

Ayoneceli Rodriguez Segura is a queer mixed media artist originally from Mexico Tenochtitlan, or present day Mexico City. Their work often focuses on remembrance, belonging, identity, and grief. They use a variety of materials such as paint, fabric, beads, and other recycled materials, and continue to focus on reusing and finding a second purpose to items. They take inspiration from growing up undocumented and from the curanderismo culture in Mexico. Throughout their process, Segura comes face to face with many emotional and mental challenges due to the forced migration they had to face with their family. Through their work, they give their memories a physical body, bringing forth all the pain that comes with not being able to return. They are currently focused on working along side their queer migrant community. They currently reside in South Phoenix where they are part of the art and media team at Trans Queer Pueblo, an autonomous organization focused on aiding queer, trans, migrant people of color.
