Alejandra Montoya is a Mexican
visual artist based in Berlin working across installation, video,
live visuals, and interactive media. Using tools such as
TouchDesigner, sensors, projection, AI and ritual practices, her work
explores spirituality, embodiment, migration, and ancestral knowledge
through feminist decolonial perspectives.
She holds degrees in professional photography from Escuela Activa de
Fotografia in Mexico City and in Fine Arts from the Kunsthochschule
Kassel in Germany. Her work has been shown at international film
festivals, earning her several Golden Herkules nominations at
Kasseler Dokfest and an exceptional merit award for her graduation
show. Exhibitions of her work span institutional and independent
spaces in Mexico, Germany, Ireland, and France. She is also a
co-founder of the media art collective TERRARISTA TV, where she
contributes to curating, storytelling, and visual production. The
collective received funding from HessenFilm und Medien GmbH to create
a multi-sensory installation in Witzenhausen’s colonial archive,
exploring colonial heritage and its ongoing impacts.
