[Guadalajara, Jal. April 21, 2019] The Rhizome Center for Migrants (www.rhizomecenter.org) is excited to announce Jorge Ramirez’s addition as Technology Strategist and newest member of the Advisor Council.

Jorge is a Mexican media artist and technologist based in Guadalajara. Since 2004, Jorge has developed an intermedia body of work traversing architecture, art, sound, science, and design. In 2012, Jorge founded the international multi-platform known as ANEMONAL (www.anemonal.org) to promote, explore, and establish networks through art, science, and technology hybrid projects. In 2017, he was selected by Ciudad Creativa Digital to curate and produce all technological art content for Guadalajara’s UNESCO Media Art City submission, which was later accepted.

“We are ecstatic to have Jorge join our cause at a time when he is exploring ways to incorporate community-driven design and technology as a tool for social change,” said Tran Dang, founder of The Rhizome Center for Migrants. “Jorge’s addition promises to invigorate our work empowering migrant communities, while harnessing Guadalajara’s position as a development and innovation city.”
