Annalisa D. Quagliata Blanco

Annalisa D. Quagliata Blanco is a filmmaker, photographer, editor, and producer born in Veracruz, Mexico. She is an audiovisual artist whose films and installations explore the human body and portraiture. In her work, the body becomes a mirror reflecting different states of being, ranging from the personal to the social and political. She has a strong interest in analog and handcrafted cinema, which she sees as a medium capable of capturing the poetry of light and the moving image. After growing up in Mexico City, she also lived in Taiwan, New York, and Boston. She graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she specialized in film, video, and interrelated media. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Museum of the Moving Image (New York), the Museo Tamayo (Mexico), the Biennial of the Moving Image (Argentina), the Fronteira Festival (Brazil), and at Ambulante and FICUNAM (Mexico), among others. She was a recipient of the FONCA Young Creators Grant.
