Belgrade Art Studio Residency

November 2019 Writer in Residence Miguel Guerrero Becerra from Mexico

Belgrade Art Studio is delighted to welcome Miguel Guerrero Becerra, a writer from Mexico.

Miguel is an independent writer but also worked as an university professor at the University of San Francisco and a film instructor and Associate Professor in two universities in Puebla, Mexico.
He is the recipient of a full writing fellowship from the Vermont Studio Center. He attended the Gullkistan Residency in Iceland; and his work has been published in Taste of Cinema and StoryScape Joural.

As a Mexican, Queer writer, he finds himself speeding through these highways of self-identification, tunneling through them and traversing in and out of them through the leering of others.

He is working on a novel that spans through different sections and follows the coming of age story of the main character from the moment he is abandoned by his mother and poops his heart out, to the final stage where he rescues the love of his life from limbo, embraces his “gay-self”, and accepts the reality of his growing up alongside his grandmother.
