Valentina Rios

Colombian photographer based in London, working at the intersection of art and politics. Particularly interested in Black & White analogue photography, darkroom printing, movement, material cultures and photography as a participatory research tool to understand contemporary life.

I’m a founding member of Ceci N’est Pas, a photography collective that explores London’s boroughs through urban photowalks. My urban landscape images invite viewers to use their imagination and build stories in which the material objects around us come alive.

Currently developing a project exploring themes of identity, history and belonging through documenting my return to Colombia after more than a decade living abroad.
