Maria De Victoria is a filmmaker and performance artist and co-founded Artists & Mothers in 2024 with Julia Trotta. She was born in 1980 in Lima, Peru, and immigrated to Miami in the early ’90s. Her work, which critiques politics and comments on the marginalized, primarily revolves around her own experiences of immigration, migration, and cultural differences. Through this personal lens and using conceptual projects and performances that often directly involve the audience, she addresses larger themes of migration, labor, and the conditions of contemporary art. She currently lives and works in New York City.
