Dilmar M. Gamero S. Ph.D. is a Peruvian-born, Philadelphia-based visual artist, educator, and researcher with studies in audiovisual communication, philosophy, theology, and art education. He specializes in documentary production, fine art photography, and alternative and experimental image-making processes.
He received his PhD in Documentary Arts and Visual Research from the School of Film and Media Arts at Temple University, an MFA in Photography from Tyler School of Art, and a BA in Audiovisual Communication from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
For many years, Dilmar’s art practice has been focused on syncretism and the cultural and religious identity of Andean rituals, merging traditional and digital image-making techniques, producing a book, exhibiting and lecturing in Latin America, Europe, and the USA. His PhD dissertation and continuous research explores conceptual and experimental photography, new media, and collaborative work on historical archives and data production to recover the representation and interpretation of memory, time and space, and the presence and absence of minority groups in alternative stories.
