Mar Atzin Sánchez Sánchez
I was born in Mexico City at the end of the 80´s. During the 90´s I grew up between Mexico and the United Sates where I began to question feelings of identity and migration issues. In Mexico I studied Visual Arts at the University of Guanajuato focusing on multimedia and performance art. At the end of my master studies I worked for the University of Guanajuato TV station, where I produced documentaries and cultural programs with a professional team of writers and filmmakers. ​
​
I have been living in Germany since 2016. Here I did a second master in Scenographic Design & Communication at FH Dortmund. During this study program I explored new technologies and collaborated with international teams. The outcome of these interactions motivated me to establish myself as a professional artist in Europe.​
​
Since arriving to the sate of North Rhine-Westphalia, I have developed various projects that create a discourse around the theme of cultural identity and fluxus art. I have also become an expert editing 360° videos and creating Fulldome videos by collaboratin with storyLab kiU and the Ostwall Museum at the cultural center Dormunder U.
​
I speak Spanish as my native language, I am also fluent in English and have a very good knowledge of German.
