About
Mar铆a Fernanda Dom铆nguez Londo帽o is a Colombian interdisciplinary scholar whose research focuses on the history of photography, material practices, and intellectual networks. Further, her work contributes to the fields of art history and history of photography as it expands upon the history of the nineteenth century in South America and the Caribbean from a visual perspective. Her research interrogates the production relations behind early photography in the Americas and a global market through a metabolic lens, establishing connections between extraction and circulation of raw materials from the Americas and the production of cosmopolitan forms of citizenship. She holds a Masters in Art History and Archaeology from New York University and undergraduate degrees in Art and Design from Universidad de los Andes.
