Andrés Valtierra (Mexico City, 1988) is a curator based in Mexico City, and is currently Associate Curator at the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo. His practice explores hegemonic histories of art — particularly those concerning the concept of Latin America — aiming to disclose the assumed discourses that give them shape, and to introduce more inclusive narratives and approaches. Some of the projects he has curated are: Per Kirkeby (in process, 2023), Altering the Pyramid or the Postmodern Museo Tamayo (2021, part of the exhibition Beyond the Trees), and Adriana Varejão. Other Bodies Behind (2019). He holds an MA in Curating Contemporary Art from the University of Essex, and a BA in English Language and Literature from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, where he majored in Literary Criticism. This latter aspect has a profound influence on the way he approaches the visual arts.
