Beatriz Bellorin–Mother of 1
Houston, Texas

In her artistic practice, Beatriz uses personal and collective archives to question narratives about memory, identity, migration, displacement, and women experiences, with a focus on their emotional impact. She explore's the psychological and social implications across various collective and intimate contexts, documenting, organizing, and categorizing repetitive sequences of gestures, events, or phenomena. Drawing from her own experiences, Beatriz investigates the memories embedded within materials and objects. 

Primarily using photography and video, she often transforms traditional prints into diverse compositions, incorporating materials such as fabrics, vintage objects, data, and acetates to evoke the ephemeral nature of time and memory, offering fragmented moments that blur the lines between past and present. Photography, video art, installations, performances, video performances, and books serve as a platform to pose questions on collective and intimate issues. 

Beatriz is a Venezuelan-American photo-video artist and documentary filmmaker exploring identity, memory, displacement, diaspora, and women's experiences. Combining anthropological research with autobiography, she uses archival documents to investigate the entanglements of memory and nostalgia, focusing on their emotional impact. She documents, organizes, and categorizes repetitive sequences of gestures, events, or phenomena, investigating the memories embedded within materials and objects.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Holocaust Museum Houston, Lawndale Art Center, POST Houston, Carnegie Museum of Art, Aperture Foundation, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston in the traveling group exhibition Latin American Photobooks. In 2024, she is a participating artist in the Texas Biennial. Beatriz’s work has also appeared in publications such as Visions of Motherhood and CLAP 10x10: Contemporary Latin American Photobooks 2000-2016, and La Fotografía Impresa en Venezuela. She holds an MA in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a BA in Sociology from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, Caracas.
