Her research centers on the histories of women, feminism(s), art and technology, with an emphasis on Latin American and its diasporas. She is the author of the award-winning book “Women Made Visible: Feminist Art and Media in post-1968 Mexico” (Nebraska Press, 2019) and several peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and research-creation projects on feminist media art and archival practices in Latin America.

cMAS is a research-creation studio directed by Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda located in SIAT at Simon Fraser University Surrey Campus that occupies the unceded territories of the Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Kwantlen, Katzie, the Kwikwetlem (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), and the Qayqayt First Nations. In cMAS, students and research collaborators explore how old and new technologies shape the historical narratives and practices of media arts through a feminist lens that considers how categories of difference, traditional disciplinary boundaries, and the legacies of colonialism continue to produce exclusions.
