Hello!

My name is Camilo and I am a Colombian designer and artist based in Berlin with a deep interest in books, narratives and words.

Over my nine-year career, I have had the opportunity to work in various ways in the publishing field, from designing and art directing covers and layouts, to writing, editing and producing books, as well as giving lectures, leading workshops and running independent publishing projects. In 2023, I founded Trashumantes, an art project with which I have been publishing literature and making books in collaboration with migrant communities in Berlin.

As an artist I am very interested in self-publishing as a practice of remembrance and a means of empowerment for people. I work contextually and explore ways to investigate, question, archive, transform and re-appropriate memory. To do this I use diverse narrative formats, oral and written forms of language, as well as participatory and collaborative practices of writing, printing and publishing that bring communities together or build them up. My artistic projects address themes such as migration, individual and collective memory, the relationship between fiction and reality, as well as erratic and slow practices as forms of resistance. For that reason I focus especially on small-scale publishing projects, privileging the individual, intimate and transformative experiences they enable.
