Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba
Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba (b. 1988) works at the intersection of art and anticapitalist entrepreneurship, framing his practice as a poetic redirection of resources away from capitalist accumulation and toward collective, baroque economies of the commons. His work has been exhibited in Mexico and abroad. He participates in collectivities such as Biquini Wax EPS, the Lil Solidarity Bank for Artists, Tropical Tap Water and the Center for Studies for Urgent Issues.
Daniel Ruvalcaba is a Rijksakademie alumni (2020–2022) and was part of the Pressing Matter artist in residency (2022-2023). Recently, he organised a Summer Course on Conceptual Mesoamerican Art at Campeche galery in Mexico City with artist SofÃa Odeth and writer Gustavo A. Cruz Serna. He is currently is working with the Nchivi Ñuu Savi Collective and Yucu Saa Community Museum (Oaxaca, Mexico) on an ethical protocol for repatriation of ancestral human remains and facilitating a museography design for the Aak Community Museum (Campeche, Mexico).
Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba is a member of Visionary Archeology Workshop, a liminal methodology that, at the intersection of speculative fiction and militant research, proposes to reconstruct what capitalism has attempted to erase through the political use of imagination.
