Profile
Nancy Dayanne Valladares is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and educator currently based in New York. Born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Nancy’s practice is deeply influenced by the construction of Honduran national identity through botanical and agricultural regimes. Trained as a photographer and filmmaker, her practice examines the networks and flows of image making, and their technopolitics: from sensors, to servers, to precious metal extraction and the carbon intensive footprint of the cloud.
Alongside Hsurae, Nancy runs Lythologies.org a decentralized research group interested in climate futures and new ecological imaginaries.
