Biography

Esmeralda Valencia Lindström is a lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in the Fine Art Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Programme at HDK-Valand. She is course responsible for the BFA programme, where she teaches elective courses focused on sculpture and performance. Her artistic practice spans various formats, including video, installation, objects, sound, and performance, often exploring the interconnectedness of human existence and forms of life. Her research interests have become increasingly focused on specific sites, particularly in examining the archives and storage locations of artworks. In her recent research, she utilizes a dry rot lens to investigate water-damaged collections in the Women’s Art Library at Goldsmiths’ Special Collections in London, challenging the notion of the archive as a static entity while highlighting overlooked spaces and recorded histories. Additionally, she has collaborated with artist-run galleries in both Sweden and the UK, contributing to curatorial projects.
