ANNOUNCING OUR 2026 Session One Incubator Artist – Alex Mendi

Alex Mendi is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala, and currently based in Savannah, Georgia. Working across photography, screen printing, video, collage, writing, and, most recently, curation, Mendi explores the depths of the subconscious and its influence on our perception of reality. Drawing inspiration from the strange spectacles of the urban landscape and the absurdity of human behavior, her work abstracts the visible world to materialize the intangible.  

Mendi earned her B.F.A in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2025. Her work has been exhibited in Georgia at the Atlanta Photography Group Gallery (Choice: 2025) and Gutstein Gallery (SCAD x Leica: Power in Perspective), as well as in Guatemala City at the Guatemala Rotary Club (Ponarte: 2025) and Proyecto Poporopo (Mujer Gráfica: 2025). Recently, her series La Ilusión de Permanencia was selected for Photolucida’s Top 200. 

Following her graduation, Mendi founded Camaleón, a multidisciplinary gallery and cultural venue dedicated to experimentation. Through in-house curations and collaborative programming, Camaleón serves as a fertile ground for unconventional artistic growth and exchange.
