Sculptor + Public Artist

Carolina Borja was born in San Diego California, and lived in the border city of Tijuana before establishing in Mexico City. Borja studied Industrial Design with a minor in Mexican Folk Art. Her work meets at an intersection of sculpture, public art, and Mexican craft. She incorporates urban and craft elements; papier-mâché, tissue paper, crepe paper, thread, concrete, wood, and cartonería, often reflecting on topics such as urban mobility, growth and cross-culture.
