BIO

Veronica Ibargüengoitia was born in Mexico City and immigrated to the United States in 2009. She has an MA in Philosophy and Humanities from Casa Lamm, a Certificate in Painting and Sculpture from The Glassell School of Arts, MFAH, and a Bachelor's in Industrial Design from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. Currently, she is an MFA student at the University of North Texas.

Ibargüengoitia conceives spaces as containers for the self that develop relationships through dwelling and time. Her work draws from installations, sculptural objects, and social practice. She explores the human being's flexibility, adaptation, and resilience in migration beyond nationality, race, origin, or beliefs and how landscape, language, belonging, culture, physical risks, and disorientation influence the reconstruction of the 

identity in a new dwelling experience.

Ibargüengoitia was part of the MFAH Block program and was awarded the 2020 Houston Artadia Fellowship Award; and is a finalist of the 2021 Prisma Art Prize Rome. Her work has been exhibited at the Holocaust Museum in Houston, Texas; Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans, El Paso Museum of Art; Texas, and Museo de Arte Ciudad Juárez; Mexico.
