MANUEL CORREA ABOUT
Manuel’s work is exemplified by the difficult task of negotiating highly complex and fragile social relations formed in the aftermath of trauma. He has used documentary filmmaking as a tool through which to bring people together: creating meeting points for war victims, survivors, activists, and scientists.
Correa has an MA in Research Architecture from Goldsmiths College, University of London. He was part of the Forensic Architecture project. He is currently an Afield Transitional Justice Fellow.
His works have been presented in venues such as the Spanish Pavillion at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale, Kunsthaus Graz, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Museo Tamayo in Mexico, Presentation House Gallery in Canada, MediaLab Matadero, The Medellín Museum of Modern Art, The 8th Norwegian Sculpture Biennial, Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos in Chile, e-flux Architecture, DOK Leipzig international documentary film festival, amongst other spaces.
