Profile
Martina Manterola is a cultural practitioner based in Mexico. Her practice critically engages with food, ecology, and feminism, challenging conventional ideas and hierarchies.
Martina is the founder of colectivo Amasijo and specialises in analysing how the hierarchy of knowledge translates into losses of doing and knowing. Within colectivo Amasijo, she is developing the "Complex Systems of Daily Life" project, an archive of narratives through which she measures territorial health as a way of questioning hegemonic indicators that prioritise profits at the cost of land and water poisoning, and human and non-human exploitation. For this, she has generated indicators to measure ecosystem health from the narratives of women close to the land. She holds a degree in Economics from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, a diploma in agroforestry systems, and a postgraduate degree in art, agroecology, territories, and social change from Inland Academy.
