Mauro Suarez Torrico (Buenos Aires, 1985) is an artist, architect, writer, educator and researcher based in Buenos Aires. His practice brings together performance, writing, spatial composition, visual arts and pedagogy. Through fieldwork, archives, walks and workshops, he explores how places and the people who inhabit them can become part of the composition of a work. His projects take the form of performances, installations, artist’s books and collective learning experiences.
His recent work develops an approach to field dramaturgy: composing in and with a place through observation, listening, movement and fiction. He has undertaken residencies at Cité internationale des arts in Paris, MuseumsQuartier Wien and Akademie Schloss Solitude. In 2026, he developed Conferencia de los paisajes in Quito and premiered the play Maestro poeta in Buenos Aires. The Rivers’ Conference has been selected for the Performance Programme of the Prague Quadrennial 2027.
He holds a degree in Architecture and a PhD in Educational Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires, and undertook postgraduate training in scenography at ENSA Nantes. His publications include Pequeña filosofía del taller (2022) and the artist’s book ¿Cuánto pesa un río? (2024).
