Mel Izanami was born and raised in Mexico, where he became aware of deep contradictions in his identity—contradictions that, over time, shaped not only his academic development but also his experience as an immigrant in Argentina. These experiences have influenced his thinking and his ongoing quest to rethink the structures we take for granted as Mexicans, Latin Americans, or inhabitants of a colonized continent. Mel Izanami currently resides between Argentina and Mexico, creating and collaborating on multidisciplinary audiovisual projects. His work explores themes related to memory, technology, and decolonization.
