Carmen Amengual (Buenos Aires, 1979) is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and researcher based in Los Angeles. Her work explores how stories of resistance endure and transform through fragile archives, micro-histories, and oral narratives. Working across film, installation, and research-based practice, she activates incomplete or forgotten materials—unrealized scripts, unfinished projects, and collective dreams—to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Guided by feminist and anti-colonial perspectives, Amengual investigates the intersections of political memory, biography, and history, tracing the remnants of emancipatory cultural imaginaries and the social forms they sought to create. Her recent project, A Non-Coincidental Mirror, reconstructs the legacy of the Third World Filmmakers Meetings (Algiers, 1973 – Buenos Aires, 1974) and was presented in a solo exhibition at Smack Mellon, New York (2024–25).

She has participated in the Whitney Independent Study Program, the Vera List Center Fellowship, residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris and has exhibited her work internationally. Carmen holds a BA in Comparative Literature from the University of Buenos Aires and an MFA in Visual Arts from CalArts.
