Born and raised in Mexico City, Julio Pastor is a proud pedestrian of his native city. He completed a BA in Fine Arts at UNAM. In 2008, he moved to the Netherlands where he completed his MFA, specializing in the Urban Landscape. After seven years, he returned to Mexico and turned the focus of his art production to the city that he roams every day. His art production is thoroughly inspired on what he encounters during his everyday walks, but also by a great deal of reading on topics related to architecture and urbanism. When not working at his art practice, Julio can be found teaching undergraduate drawing courses in the architecture department at the Universidad Iberoamericana, or enjoying the city with his wife and two children.

Natalia is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but chose Mexico as her home and her field of research. During her 'Production and Patterns' degree at SENAI/Cetiqt in Rio, much of her studies focused on Mexican arts and costume to complement her research on Frida Kahlo's clothes. In 2014 she officially moved to CDMX after finishing her final project on the Tehuantepec dress. While in Mexico, Natalia has worked with fashion designers and has studied Mexican arts, history and literature. In 2021 she graduated with honors at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) with an MA in Art History presenting a project about the clothing and the creative process of Georgia O'Keeffe. Alongside being an expert guide, she currently works with Alejandra de Coss, a Mexican fashion designer.

Rodrigo Farias is an artist born and raised in Mexico City, fluent in English and Spanish. He started painting from a very early age and then majored in Visual Arts at Mexico´s Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado “La Esmeralda” as well as Philosophy at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Although focused on painting he is also a musician and an essayist. He has long been a student and a fan of the popular traditions and culture of his country. In his work he renews representation and figurative painting by incorporating elements from Mexico´s rich Rotulista (signpainter) tradition, from the world of Comics and punk illustration (underground comics such as the Spanish La Comictiva and the Mexican El Gallito comics magazines being a particularly important influence on him) and from the Bad Painting movement. His work ponders the disappearance of the subject and the worrying emergence of a post-human world, as well as the complex relationship between word and image, and between what is known and what is unknowable.
