Pablo Lerma is a hispanic queer research-based artist, educator and publisher based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. His artistic practice is developed at the intersection of image & text with a focus in visual archives and vernacular materials dealing with notions of collective memory, representation and queerness. His work takes various forms from photographic installations to publications. His writing practice is developed on multiple textual forms around its embodied knowledge and experiences, generating streams of words in the shape of auto-theory that pair with his research and artistic projects. Currently, he is a lecturer in theory and head of the Social Practices department in the BA programs at Willem de Kooning Academy, University of Applied Sciences in Rotterdam. In the last decade, he served as a faculty member in Photography & Social Justice at the International Center of Photography in New York (US). He runs the publishing project Meteoro Editions, a publishing platform exploring book forms connected to archival practices and vernacular materials.
