Ingrid Leyva, 1987, is a transborder artist who grew up between Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua and El Paso, Texas.

Also, she has appeared on different magazines such as the Texas Observer, Melí Meló, Remezcla, Vice Mexico, Apocrypha Magazine and in the books Migracion 2.0 edited by Francisco Mata Rosas and Vision del Norte edited by Adél Koleszár and Erin Lee.
