JUAN CARLOS GUERRERO-HERNÁNDEZ

Born in Bogotá (Colombia), I grew deeply interested in cultures and traditions. I have lived in cities such as London, Berlin, and New York, and carried out research, interviews, and archival work in Africa, South and North America, and Europe. I am deeply in love with multicultural cities such as São Paulo, Cape Town, San Francisco, and New York. I aim to spend seasons in East Asia and West Africa in the coming years to expand my research and cultural immersion.

I write and lecture on global contemporary art, with an emphasis on the Global South. My scholarship examines transnational, transcultural, and intercultural exchanges and phenomena at the intersections of moving and still images, performance, decoloniality, and collective memory.
