Vida Barba Zamora,

Vida Zamora, originally from Puebla, is an artist formed at the Maryland Institute College of Art

in Film/Video and Liberal Arts. Their passion for the documentary arts is an imminent result of

their roots in the Global South, devotion to social organizing, and a forager’s approach to

academia. Their most recent affair was moving to New York for a residency at UnionDocs.

Vida’s practice, per se, weaves through the complex tapestry of intersectionality, dialect, and

historicity with an unyielding lens of resistance and dissent. Their ethos embodies stark

materialism, dissecting dominant discourses on race, gender, and class in the Americas.

Vida challenges entrenched roles through direct action, democratizing mediums for

marginalized voices through their processes. Advocating for "Kuxlejal" life-affirming processes,

their voice spans disciplines, drawing from decolonial and socialist theories.
