Pedro Barbáchano is an artist, cultural worker and educator working between

archaeology, the critique of historical and photographic documents and issues with
the representation of subaltern identities culminating as sculptural installations,
books, and augmented reality experiences stemming from the photographic image.
He has exhibited in Spain, Canada and Egypt in venues such as SCAN (Tarragona,
Spain) and Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery (Montreal, Canada). Barbáchano is the
recipient of multiple awards, including the Roloff Beny Fellowship in Photography,
the Gabor Szilasi Prize in Photography, the Post Image Research Fellowship, the

Canada and Spain. Barbáchano is currently pursuing an MFA and has lectured at
