Camilo Pachón

Bio

Camilo Pachón is a Colombian visual artist and curator. His work explores community-based practices and the mask as ancestral technologies, serving as transformative entities within their contexts. Camilo creates actions, characters, objects, and community processes that might be commonplace in another dimension but challenge the hegemonic narratives of reality in this one. He is the founder of several creative platforms. These include Crispr Bogotá, an artist-run gallery in Bogotá; AMA (Ambulante Más Allá), a nomadic filmmaking training program for underserved communities Colombia; and Carnaval Digital, the first trans-local and networked space for artists and carnival collectives from around the world.
