Dr. Miriam Kienle, critic and University of Kentucky Associate Professor of Art History and Visual Studies specializing in contemporary art, wrote in UnderMain Magazine of Mesa-Gaido’s work: “… filters deeply troubling geopolitical realities through her immediate personal experience of them. In the process, she makes these events less abstract and more tangible, transforming them into what feminist media theorist Donna Haraway famously called, '‘situated knowledges’.”
