Valentina Alvarado Matos is a visual artist and filmmaker. Her work explores issues related to memory and territory through a dialogue with the materiality of film, paper, voice, and ceramics. Her practice, closely linked to collage, weaves reflections on diasporic identity, memory, and landscape.

She has been an artist-in-residence at Hangar, La Escocesa, Cultura Resident Castellón, Fora de Camp, LIFT Toronto, Dirdira Lab/Azala, Matadero Madrid, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

Alongside her artistic practice, she teaches and has given classes and workshops at institutions such as BAU, Escola Massana, LAV Master’s Program, EINA, Can Felipa Arts Visuals, CC Albareda, Universidad del Zulia, Universitat de Barcelona, Cinema en Curs, and EICTV (San Antonio de los Baños).
