I am a researcher, artist and a mediator. I place myself at an intermediate point between pedagogy and artistic production. My work focuses on the activation of alter-institutional educational platforms and the analysis of their potential to imagine possible futures.
I form part of several trans-territorial platforms that experiment in the crossing between arts and activism. I have been a resident artist in FASE (Hospitalet de Llobregat) since 2018.
Todo por la Praxis (TXP)

An artistic group composed of the visual artist, researcher and educator Jo Muñoz (Chilean) and the architect and artist Diego Peris López (Spanish). Their interests place the focus on dissent as forms of political resistance which build other possible imaginaries. They use collaborative practices to install critical thinking spaces and agitprop, the contra-publicity and the visibility or communication war as aesthetic / political countermeasures. With this, they seek to activate new transcultural subjectivities, as forms of emancipation and decolonisation of dominant thinking, based on research / production / action processes in both geographic and symbolic territories. They are based in an industrial warehouse located
in the Vallecas neighbourhood in Madrid, which they restructured in 2021 and renamed it the Espacio de Todo (Space for Everything). This site is used as its own workspace and opens simultaneously to contain two initiatives which converse and nurture their creation projects: the already existing Do It Yourself Institute (IDYS In its Spanish acronym), as a platform for critical pedagogy and action, and the platform for research and artistic production called PIPA (as per its Spanish acronym)!
