Art As A Wayfinding Practice

Kia ora, I'm Ninu (she/her), a Mexican artist living in Aotearoa New Zealand, the place I call home. This is the space where you’ll find my most recent projects, creative offerings and the blog I’m currently writing, The Untaught Path—a creative exercise in shaping life with a focus on simplicity, rooting myself in nature, finding magic in the ordinary, living seasonally, crafting rituals, nourishing the spirit, following curious rabbit holes, and honouring my own particular blend of spices (aka my true nature).

I do collage, digital illustration, craft objects, and dabble in animation every now and then. I’m also a participatory art experience designer, which means I take people on creative journeys where we reflect and discuss different topics about our present world and make art based on our reflections. Here’s a project I designed on female body hair and body positivity. These projects invite us to challenge our “autopilot” ways of thinking and doing, and to imagine worlds that truly work for us.

I call it the Wayfinder journey—where we navigate complexity together, slowly discovering ways of living that feel healthier and more aligned with our unique circumstances: who we are, what we want, and what we need.
