about
Mariana Acosta Burns is a multimedia artist and designer whose practice bridges Mesoamerican and Latin American visual traditions with contemporary digital art, animation, and illustration. A descendant of the Chichimeca people and California-based immigrant, she draws from Mesoamerican visual traditions and the nomadic character of her heritage to create work that centers Latin American stories and the communities who live them. She is the founder of Kukul Estudio; her work has been exhibited at the Chan Zuckerberg Community Space in Redwood City and screened at festivals across the US and Latin America.
