Dalida María Benfield, PhD, is an artist, theorist, and cultural organizer who researches and activates feminist and post/decolonial thought, pedagogy, and creative action in the context of global information ebbs and flows. Her work initiates collective processes of knowledge production and autonomous cultural interventions. Digital cinemas and archives, and augmented and virtual realities, are repositioned in her work as ancestral technologies to be transformed by user-producers. She is the co-founder of the Center for Arts, Design, and Social Research (CAD+SR), an international, global majority-focused platform supporting transdisciplinary collaborative inquiry through fellowships, residencies, and publications. Recent publication credits as co-editor include: Affecting Technologies/Machining Intelligences (CAD+SR, 2021) and Urgent Pedagogies, Issue #5: Pluriversality (IASPIS, 2023). Benfield’s award-winning films, videos, and installations have been screened and exhibited internationally since 1989.
