BIOGRAPHY
Camilo Londoño Hernández is a Colombian cuir (queer) writer, visual artist, and independent curator based in Germany. As a constant game of moving words and images, his work plays with borders of literature to open cracks of affection, sexuality, pleasures, and power. He graduated with a master’s in fine arts in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies at the Bauhaus Universität- Weimar (Germany). In 2022, granted by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia, he published his first fiction book “Los Perros Esperan Bajo la Sombra” (The Dogs Wait Under the Shadow). Additionally, he studied Social Communication and Journalism at the Pontificia Bolivariana University (Medellin, Colombia). There, he worked as a lecturer and researcher investigating imagery, literature, and cinema.

As an artist, he has exhibited in Colombia, Germany, Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Costa Rica, and the USA. As an independent curator, he has collaborated with artists, galleries, and cultural institutions in Colombia, Spain, and Bolivia. For instance, his last curatorial project "Among Bodies" was part of the Experimental Photo Fest Barcelona 2022. In Colombia, he curated the exhibition "Sabotage" which was exhibited at Lokkus Art Gallery as part of the First Colombian Image Encounter organized by the Museum of Modern Art of Medellin. Equally, he accompanied the photographic show “At my feet are other lands”, one documentary project exhibited at the Museum of Art of Jericó – MAJA in Colombia as well at Tambo Quirquincho Museum in the frame of Fotofest Bolivia in La Paz.

Camilo is part of RITA Art Collective and Abraso, the Mobile Center of Intratropical Artistic Research and Affective Practices. Besides, he co-directs the publishing house Efímera. Currently, he is working on his first feature film “El Nadador” [The Swimmer], a project developed as a part of the exhibition “Lost in Translation” of the Bauhaus Museum in Germany.
