Andrea Alkalay

Andrea Alkalay is a visual artist currently based in Argentina with a degree in Industrial Design from the University of Buenos Aires. Was trained in art-photography attending workshops and residency programs, experimenting with alternative techniques and creative processes. Her skills in design and artistic practices are interconnected. She uses materials as tools to underline ideas, considering form, function, and language as essential elements in her work. She thinks through the image, looking for the poetic and political potential that arises from the observation, exploring photography’s ability to manipulate perceptions of reality. She is interested in the discrepancy between what we see and what we know, where these qualities contradict each other and coexist simultaneously. Her work expands the limits of photography towards other disciplines such as collage, embroidery, and painting to imprint a multiplicity of visions. In 2024 and 2023, Alkalay exhibited in Riyadh, Slovenia, and the UAE, as well as in Argentina at Bienal Sur, The Recoleta Cultural Center, The CCK Cultural Center, and The UADE Award exhibition. She was selected for the Intermix residency program in Riyadh.
