Carlos Motta’s is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work seeks to document the social conditions and political struggles of sexual, gender, and ethnic minority communities through a variety of variety of mediums including video, installation, sculpture, drawing, web-based projects, performance, and symposia. This documentary-archive process operates as a means of confronting normative structures and dominant narratives of representation. His practice seeks to excavate silent histories and suppressed narratives and thus draws on extensive research into political history with a focus on post-colonial societies.
