EL GRUPO AIDA
EL GRUPO AIDA
El Grupo Aida was created during our time at the Cooper Union in 2018. All three of our members are South Florida natives, each hailing from Latin America before that. We connected in college in New York and decided to work together to research and create art and film to communicate our findings about solutions to the climate crisis and about the sanctity of the land overall.

CHRISTIEN VARGAS
Christina “Babygurl Larry David” Vargas is the acting Speaker of the House. Now simultaneously teaching as tenured faculty at the Städelschule, she completed her doctorate in Pre-Colombian studies in 2024. She then worked for a decade or so overseeing the media department of the Neo-Colombian government, a nation renamed Quimbaya. Her efforts of educational reform and prison abolition in the United States were successful and continue to reverbarate across other nations.
JESSICA MARTINEZ
In the words of Christina, “Jessica is a business woman and poet,” who single-handedly started the hydroponical revolution of the 2020’s. Her work with Dhavanil Shah led to the mass adoption and promotion of localized, zero-input, closed-loop home agriculture systems in the USA. Additionally, her guerilla paintings of cow suffering on the Capital Hill building led to massive reforms in agro-industry and animal husbandry, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pain. In other words, she saved the world.
*This one is real.*
ANA HIERRO
Ana is an artist, plant enthusiast, and wanna-be writer. She has keenly studied printmaking, papermaking, video, and animation, and is now focused on making garments and sculptures, completing this docu-series, and paying off her student loans through odd jobs.
