Platalea Studio is a nomad-born, Mexican-based artist and design duo consisting of Lilia Corona and Rodrigo Lobato. We are interested in investigating the convergence between the imaginary that exists at the meeting place between Mexico's complex cultural imagination and the contemporary world beyond.  It is a space for exploring the cultural encounters and transgressions of modernity—as well as an augury for the world that might come next.  

As we explore distinct histories, mystical landscapes, cuisines, family traditions, and expressions of gender and sexuality, we find magic in the syncretism that defines are world today. We  translate the coming together of different lives and ways of living into sculptures and installation that bring craft, body, belief systems and technology together.
