Beatriz Paz Jiménez

Beatriz is a writer, researcher, artist, and cultural organizer, working at the intersection of social communication, participatory art, and prefigurative politics.  Her practice seeks to reconnect traditional ecological knowledge to urban imaginaries through a critical alimentation and territorialization. Focusing on preserving Indigenous and popular class foods—such as quelites, edible and medicinal plants native to Mesoamerica—her work challenges dietary homogenization and advocates for food sovereignty through projects that intertwine art, non-human pedagogies, and ecosocial organizing.  Through collaborative and participatory methodologies, she questions the intersectionality implicit in food culture, advancing anti-colonial co-creation models.

Her writings —published or in process to be published by Penguin (MX), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (MX), SUNY Press (US), and Hyphen-Journal (UK)—foster transnational dialogues across art and activism. These works aim to dismantle hierarchies and envision speculative futures where food embodies collective memory, planetary care, and radical justice. She is one half of Dupla Molcajete and one half of The Food Commons.
