Biography
Judith CovaSau (1992) is a Mexican bioartist, teacher, and researcher who graduated with honors from the UNAM Graduate School of Arts and Design for her sculptural and research project based on the use of organic elements. Drawing on the principles of the scientific and experimental method, she finds new tools for making biomaterials as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials in the arts and design.
She has exhibited her work in cultural and academic venues such as the Universidad Austral de Chile, Somaiya Vidyavihar University in Mumbai, Academia de San Carlos (UNAM), Cromática Galería, Casa Frissac, Museo de Historia de Tlalpan, and Gimnasio de Arte y Cultura in Mexico City. She received support from the Mexican Ministry of Culture's “Contigo en la Distancia Cultura desde Casa” (2020) competition for her Biomaterial Tutorial project. She taught virtual courses entitled Living Art: Biopolymer Process at the Darwin India Festival (2021 and 2023) at Somaiya Vidyavihar University in Mumbai, India.
She participated in the first collective exhibition of female bioartists in Mexico City entitled Ecotono: Narrativas de lo vivo (2022), at Cromática Galería, curated by Edith Medina, a pioneer of bioart in Mexico. Her project Bioresina Floral, biomaterials from cempasúchil, was exhibited in the cities of Valdivia, Chile, and Medellín, Colombia, at the Biopolimérica Festival (2023), organized by the Universidad Austral de Chile. One of her most recent research projects and productions, entitled Mexcalxóchitl, biomaterials made from maguey and cempasúchil, was selected for the digital catalog 24|25 of the Mapping of Latin American Abundances of Material Systems (2024), in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
