salt 18: Amor Muñoz

Amor Muñoz is a Mexico City-based artist who works at the intersections of technology, craft, labor, and biology. In her expansive, research-driven practice, she traces how technology is deeply embedded in our material and cultural lives. For her salt exhibition, Muñoz turns to corn (also known by the Nahuatl name elotl, or elote in Spanish). Corn is more than a food: it is a carrier of memory, a record of cultural exchange, and a living system of knowledge that has been passed across generations.
