Beatriz Paz is a Mexican researcher and publisher. She is the co-founder of INDIGENIA, a non-profit organization whose main campaign aims to expand recognition of the Wixárika culture through exhibitions of art and design, lectures, workshops, festivals and culinary activities; and who collaborates directly with a Wixárika community in the state of Jalisco that is facing life-threatening problems of drought and occupation of their territories.
She works in the fields of communication studies, social communication and contemporary art. She collaborates as a translator in the construction of a news platform between Mexican and US anarchists: http://voicesinmovement.org
Her main lines of research are printed publications of anarchism in Mexico; the construction of propaganda by the government and its official forms of communication as well as the emergence of channels of counter-propaganda, and the distinct phases of the Dirty War from its beginning in the early 60’s up until the present moment. She bilingually edits art books, audiobooks and zines about post-civilization, manifestos, gender, and news of liberation struggles.
