Maria Rosa Jijon is an Ecuadorian artist working with photo, video, sound and
public interventions. She did her studies in Ecuador, Cuba and Sweden.

Jijon’s work deals with the idea of being a foreigner and with human mobility
in migratory contexts, hence it is based on mutual exchange and collaboration
with grassroots groups and local migrant organizations.

She is also a trainer and teacher with MUS-E a European Artistic Project, aimed at introducing art in elementary schools as a way to fight against violence.

She has attended various workshops on social and urban intervention with Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Cittadellarte Foundation, and is presently a member of El Puente
collective. Jijon has also taken part in a series of filmmaking projects regarding foreign communities in Italy.
