Bio
Teresita Carson (b. Mexico) is an artist working across disciplines, including moving image, fiber, and installation. Taking an irreverent feminist approach to world and counter-archive building, she explores the abstract intersection between the historical, the speculative, indigenous cosmogonies, and magical peripheries. She has screened experimental films internationally, notably at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Slamdance Film Festival, the Chicago Underground Film Festival, Light Matter Film Festival, Festival Internacional de Cine con Medios Alternativos, Antimatter, and Experiments in Cinema. Recent venues presenting Carson’s work include Mana Contemporary, Hyde Park Art Center, Gallery 400, the Cleve Carney Museum of Art, and the 2024 Ground Floor Biennial. Carson has received grants from DCASE’s Individual Artists Program (IAP), the Artists Run Chicago Fund, and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. She resides in Chicago, Illinois in the land of the Three Fires Confederacy, Potawatomi, Odawa and Ojibwe Nations.
