Studies
Minor in Cinema and Television, Universidad de Chile
They are currently pursuing a Master's in Curating Film Studies at the Elias Querejeta Zine Eskola in San Sebastián.
Cultural Management
Since 2021, Belén has served as the director, curator, producer, coordinator, and social manager of Videoclub, a platform and event that promotes DIY audiovisual content and fosters social interaction through art and culture.
The event has been held in over eight countries, with notable venues such as Silent Green Kulturquartier and Kunstraum (Berlin), Millenium Film Workshop (New York City), Cine CCC (Santiago, Chile), and Extrapool (the Netherlands), among others.
Through Videoclub, they have worked to provide a space for marginalized voices, including queer people, sex workers, lesbians, disabled individuals, and Indigenous peoples, fostering collaboration and visibility in a context of artistic exploration.
Graphic and Editorial Work
In their graphic and editorial work, they specialize in creating books, zines, and illustrations, often exploring personal and collaborative narratives. They are the author of "Doubts About Ableism and Other Doubts", which reflects on their roles as a sibling, friend, caregiver, and collaborative artist with people with functional diversity.
They have produced over 64 handmade zines using recycled materials and five printed editions showcasing their illustrations and photographs.
Five of their zines are part of the collection at the Ibero-American Institute in Berlin, and two are included in the Schikkimikki Zine Distro collection in Berlin.
They also specialize in creating digital illustrations, which have led to their work as a muralist. They have created murals in Valparaíso (Chile), Raposa, Bahia (Brazil), and during the COTRANSPOSE residency in Dikaia, Evros (Greece, July 2023).
They actively participate in various zine festivals and fairs, including Miss Read Berlin, Printed Matters Art Book Fair (nominated for the NYABF 2024 Jason Polan Award), and Fanzine Festival Paris, among others.
