About

Daniel Arturo Almeida (b. 1992. Caracas, Venezuela) is a cultural producer and artist working through photography, installation, archiving, and public engagement. His practice chronicles intimate and collective stories that shape belief systems and hierarchies of power in the Americas. The product of generational migrations, Almeida researches images, music, anecdotes, and documents portraying national pride, nostalgia, and collective amnesia. The work observes shared culture through loss, hope, and empathy. He has exhibited in The U.S.A in various institutions, galleries, and festivals, including A.I.R. Gallery, Tiger Strikes Asteroids, La Salita Project, Columbia Teachers College, Satellite Art Show, and the SVA Chelsea Galleries, among others. Almeida’s work has been reviewed in Hyperallergic and The Daily Lazy
