Alejandra Montoya (she/her) is a multidisciplinary visual artist from Mexico City, based in Berlin. Her work explores spirituality and ancestral practices as tools for self-reflection, identity, and political resistance. Using film, installation, live visuals, rituals, and tarot, she connects feminist decolonial perspectives with imagination, memory, and speculative futures, creating spaces for critical intimacy.

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.
