Carolina Montejo is a Colombian-American artist and filmmaker based in Southern California. She has a BA in Communications from Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia, and an MFA in Visual Arts from UC San Diego.
Using film & video, and installation, her works are concerned with feminist eco-pluralistic thought, as well as human, plant, and animal embodiment and interdependence. Montejo’s work outlines a framework of ethics, beauty and revolution that seeks to disrupt and question diverse systems of oppression, while also engaging with the aesthetic overlaps of analogue and digital imagery, as well as sound and performance art.
Her research and film narrative focus on ecofeminism, intersectional climate justice, ecocinema, and urban ecology. She is a member of Green New Deal at UCSD, currently teaches film studies at USD and is Creative Director at her new independent film production company, Telepathine Studio.
