Sebastián Meltz-Collazo

Sebastián Meltz-Collazo is a visual artist, writer, and musician working towards experiences through the intersection of narratives. Collapsing personal and collective consciousness, he explores notions of identity while raising questions on visual culture and representation. He also collects and writes about contemporary Puerto Rican photo books, in hopes of creating a repository of projects encompassing a decolonized, authentic visual language in the island. As an extension of this mission, he has collaborated with publications looking to highlight photographers from underrepresented communities in the Caribbean. He has lectured on photobook production in the US, Puerto Rico, and online and has exhibited his work at Handwerker Gallery, Kate Werble Gallery, and MECA International Art Fair. Meltz-Collazo is a graduate of the Image Text Ithaca MFA program and is based in New York & Puerto Rico.
