GALA CARRANCO

A graduate of CENTRO in Visual Communication (2025), 
something you should know about Gala is her constant 
curiosity, which is why her work moves between web 
design, editorial design, and illustration.
Her work is based on a knack for asking uncomfortable 
questions and learning from others. She knows that 
good design has a great impact.
Her interdisciplinary training encompasses service 
design, knowledge translation, community engagement, 
visual communication, participatory research, 
and social and health sciences, which underpins 
a practice that is as strategic as it is creative.

PROYECTOS







1. Trazos a contramano - Gesturaaa
Taking a curious look at epistemic injustices, 
we analyze how bodily exclusion directly impacts 
the way certain knowledge is legitimized, beyond 
the hand used to write. This research reveals that 
non-normative bodies challenge structures that 
have historically rendered other forms of learning, 
teaching, and knowledge invisible.





2. menstruando en sequía
Four out of 10 women in Mexico City experience 
period poverty.

Water shortages in Mexico City are becoming a health 
crisis that disproportionately affects menstruating 
people.





3. De ak(al)i a allá
After the floods in Mexico City, what were once lakes 
are demanding their freedom. What would happen if they 
were uncovered? From ak(al)i to alla is a journey 
aboard the currents of a "new" city.





4. Las milpas también son altares,
La milpa, la escuela

“Entender los campos de cultivo no desde una masa homogénea sino como un conjunto de seres donde cada mata es un individuo que hay que cuidar”

- Mauricio Estrada, 2024





5. Amuleto geométrico: Una noche de dibujo a oscuras
You need more than your body to be able to draw, to be 
present. Only then could we invoke Myra Landau at the 
close of the MUAC.






6. Tokyo
This editorial design project brings together a series 
of manipulated photographs taken during an immersive 
trip through Japan. Through visual experimentation and 
image manipulation, they reinterpret the landscapes, 
culture, and moments experienced during that journey 
in a personal way.





7. BLOL
The project was inspired by the dance of the bees, 
a unique form of communication that reflects collective 
intelligence and the connection between living beings. 
This idea was the starting point for creating an 
authentic identity that, in addition to highlighting 
Oaxaca's biodiversity and cultural richness, honors 
the product's origin and tradition.
