Información sobre Romina Resuche:

Romina Resuche (Buenos Aires, 1975) Periodista. Curadora. Desde siempre escribe/ Journalist. Curator. Researcher. She has always written.

El ejercicio del periodismo y la producción audiovisual la llevaron a prácticas curatoriales, invitándola a su vez a la labor educativa, y a investigaciones a las que llegó acompañando procesos y recorridos de personas con proyectos surgidos, nutridos o inspirados en archivos. Relacional y situada, su intención curatorial se sustenta en la postproducción, las teorías del presente, el trabajo de la memoria y la oralidad como puente.

Desde 2021 produce y dirige Archivos y Activaciones, un espacio de reflexión y acción que comenzó con un programa de seminarios online y continúa ampliándose en derivas como el podcast – Archivar, desarchivar, anarchivar, contraarchivar y volver a archivar. -, así como talleres, residencias y otras instancias táctiles. A&A cuenta desde hace cuatro años con ediciones online, con una edición presencial, y 3 ediciones especiales (TEXTIL)

Diana Larrea es una documentalista, fotógrafa y artista visual peruana galardonada que vive en Miami, FL y Cusco, Perú. Actualmente es artista residente en Oolite Arts y está en preproducción de su cortometraje “Hatun Sonqo”, un documental dedicado a la preservación de las lenguas y el patrimonio indígena en el sur de Florida. Su última película experimental, “Querido Pequeño Haití”, se estrenó en el Festival de Cine de Miami del 2024 y se proyectó en el legendario Centro Adrienne Arsht. “Monarcas”, su debut como directora, ganó el premio al mejor documental en el Festival de Cine Independiente de Highland Park.  

Diana también ha prestado sus habilidades de edición a varios proyectos, incluidos "Madame Pipi" (2021), "Birthright" (2021) y el documental ganador del Emmy "Six Degrees of Immigration" (2019). A lo largo de la última década, Diana ha colaborado con artistas de Miami, capturando su esencia a través de retratos íntimos mientras documenta comunidades que luchan contra los efectos del desarrollo y la gentrificación. Con un título asociado en producción cinematográfica de Miami-Dade College, comenzó su carrera como editora para estaciones de televisión e instituciones.

About the Vasari Project:

The Vasari Project is a library collection at Main Library dedicated to documenting, collecting, and preserving Miami-Dade County's art history from 1945 to the present. It is a living archive that grows through contributions from artists, art professionals, exhibition spaces, galleries, institutions, and private donors.

The Vasari Project is a resource for ongoing research, scholarship, publications, artists' projects, exhibitions, and events. The archive collects documentation rather than original works of art composed primarily of printed matter: correspondence, press clippings, photographs, posters, books, exhibition catalogs, artists' files, oral histories, and other ephemeral materials.

About the Division of Special Collections & Archives:

Miami-Dade Public Library System’s Division of Special Collections & Archives is located at the Main Library and holds rare and irreplaceable historical materials for the benefit of the public and scholarly community. They oversee the Helen Muir Florida Collection, 16mm Film Collection, Cuban Collection of Rare Books & Ephemera, Genealogy Collection, Vasari Project archive, and Rare & Antiquarian books from as early as the 17th century. The Division aims to provide the public with the contents of these collections at their request, which include books, original manuscripts, over 18,000 photographs, prints, artifacts, audiovisual resources, and electronic media.
