Viviana M. Calderon de la Barca

Diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion lay at the heart of all of Viviana's sociocultural creative projects. With her latest audiovisual installation on textile circularity, coproduced by Baltan Laboratories and exhibited this year at NATLAB in Eindhoven, she wants to further encourage acceptance and change by working along with different generations and people with autism.

Viviana has been trained and worked internationally as a language and cultural educator in different levels—from preprimary education to university. In Canada, Viviana has assisted parents and their children with educational support to overcome speech delay problems with the guidance of speech pathologists. Later in Amsterdam she has taught undergraduate foreign language curricula that considered students born with brain damage.

Currently, Viviana is also working on her next documentary on textile designers and women entrepreneurs that will premier as part of Dutch Design Week 2022.
