Michelle Trujillo

Michelle Trujillo was born and raised in South Florida to Colombian and Costa Rican Parents. The focus of her practice is to question and explore representations of Latinx culture, gender and identity creation. Her work stems from an intersectional feminist perspective but does not always offer solutions to the problems it engages with. Instead, she is concerned with upsetting power structures and notions of normality through disorientation. She works in both 16mm film and digital video and has an interest in alternative/DIY/Eco-friendly techniques. Her films have been exhibited in festivals, galleries and conferences nationally and internationally such as Alchemy Film Festival, Wisconsin Film Festival, Mimesis Documentary Festival and the Augusta Savage Gallery. She currently teaches in the Film/Video department at MassArt in Boston, MA.
