Claudia Minerva Medina

Claudia Medina is the proud daughter of a Nahua/Mexican mother and Italian father who left their homelands to start a new life on the Sunshine Coast of Canada in Tla’Amin territory, also known as Powell River/qathet. After many years working, travelling and studying in Latin America, Asia and Europe, Claudia eventually returned to the coast to raise her daughter Alma while continuing her art practice in film and video. Claudia has been involved in film and video production since 1998. She established her production company, EnMedia for her fiction films and since then has expanded it to produce diverse projects in film, visual design, media education and installation. Her immersive multi channel installations include Future Forests, 2018, and Clam Basket, 2022, a collaboration with Tla’Amin artist/weaver, Sosan Blaney and Naguala, 2023. Claudia holds a master’s degree in Visual Culture from the University of Barcelona with a focus on installation, visual culture and ecology. She continues to create media with the goal of creating possibilities for reconnection in times of crisis.
