Mariana Medellín-Meinke: She’s a Mestizo artist of Mexican descent. The focus of her studies are in classical ballet and contemporary performance art (México, US, Canada, Germany).
Mariana is an interpreter, creator, street artist and her artistic path is overall influenced by social and cultural understanding. The major milestones that have shaped her art include being raised in México, migrating north, and developing deep connections and research in the Middle East (Palestine, Jordan).
She’s created art via performance, dance, installation, in the streets and venues of México, Canada, Palestine, Jordan and Germany. At this moment her main concern is to expand the art viewer demographics and to question value systems within a society.
Mariana has worked with many artists in Toronto. But she has developed artistic and life-long relationships with Brian Solomon (Anishnaabe/Irish), Daina Ashbee (Cree/Dutch), Jumana Dabis (Palestinian), and with The Dietrich Group, D.A. Hoskins, since 2010.
