CV
Bryan Giuseppi Rodriguez Cambana (b. 1991, Lima/Callao, Peru) lives and works in London, UK.
In 2025, Rodriguez Cambana received the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award and was awarded a Fundación Botín Art Grant, with a solo exhibition at Fundación Botín (Santander, Spain) scheduled for late 2026.
His practice spans moving image, performance, installation, and collaborative platforms, informed by extensive experience in arts education, curatorial initiatives, public programmes, and cultural production across the UK, the US, and Latin America.
Rodriguez Cambana approaches immersive and time-based media through an interdisciplinary methodology that brings together video, performance, and installation. His visual language operates at the intersections of these forms, unfolding simultaneously across spatial, performative, and cinematic registers. Deeply informed by questions of cultural identity and Afro-diasporic musical traditions, his work develops eclectic strategies of personal storytelling that draw on lived experience, collective memory, and the theatre of the everyday. Departing from autobiographical narratives and intimate forms of community, Rodriguez Cambana revisits moments from history and re-situates them within contemporary visual and spatial contexts.
Rodriguez Cambana (he/him, they/them) holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
