Miguel Limon is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and cultural worker based in Chicago. Growing up as the queer child of Mexican immigrants on the city’s South East Side, Miguel explores themes of identity, labor, and overlooked histories. His projects, like Foundry Echoes and Hogares Perdidos, blend photography, printmaking, and archival research to illuminate the stories of Mexican-American communities shaped by industrial landscapes.
Miguel believes art can drive social change, transforming forgotten histories into living monuments. His work has been supported by the Puffin Foundation and Aperture Foundation, and featured in publications such as Vogue and V Magazine. Through his practice, he invites communities to reclaim their narratives and envision new futures rooted in justice and belonging.
