The multidisciplinary art practice of Carlos Motta documents the social conditions and political struggles of sexual-, gender-, and ethnic minority communities in order to challenge normative discourses through acts of self-representation.

As a historian of untold narratives, Motta is committed to in-depth research on the struggles of post-colonial subjects and societies. His work manifests in a variety of mediums including video, installation, sculpture, drawing, web-based projects, performance, and symposia.
