Carmen Baltzar

Carmen Baltzar is an artist living and working between Lisbon and Helsinki. She works with film and text and performative aspects of both disciplines. Her work approaches liberations from all angles, using the body as a vessel. Her prose, poetry, essays and columns have been published online on platforms such as Yle, Image, Ylioppilaslehti and Al-Jazeera, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and print anthologies and literary publications. She developed an interest in anti-ethnographies and power dynamics in film during her documentary filmmaking MA at UCL and has contributed to several academic and industry publications on these topics. She co-edited the anthology Ohi – kirjoituksia kuolemasta ja sen vierestä (Ohi – Writings on Death and Beyond, WSOY 2022) and her first novel of performative prose will be published in 2025.
