Carmen Alemán is a visual artist living in London.
Her work uses different media including photography, film, installation and performance. She has worked on a number of community projects, art residencies and curatorial collaborations, exhibiting her work both in U.K. and abroad.
Her main area of interest, and the focus of her current work, is women’s rights. This refers to the position and means of expression of women, both socially and politically; from identity, power and sexuality to their fight for gender equality. Her current work is an exploration of violence against women (VAW) in an ongoing body of work that explores the themes of power, gender inequality, entrapment, repetition and transformation.
