Fernando Palma Rodríguez: In Ixtli in Yollotl, We the People

Fernando Palma Rodríguez (Mexican, b. 1957) combines his training as an artist and mechanical engineer to create robotic sculptures that utilize custom software to perform complex, narrative choreographies. His works respond to issues facing indigenous communities in Mexico, addressing human and land rights, violence, and urgent environmental crises.

The exhibition includes works made over the past two decades, several of which have been recently restored in collaboration with engineering students at Universidad Tecnológica de Valles Centrales de Oaxaca
