Carlos Valdez-Kehoe (Mexico City, 1997) is an interdisciplinary artist working with story-based research as primary material. Influenced by anthropology and sociolinguistics, Valdez looks into contextual elements such as imagery, symbols, and code systems of written and spoken testimonies to examine how language, tradition, and societal structures are reshaped through processes of cultural assimilation.

Carlos’s projects emerge from long-term, research-driven investigations and often take the form of large-scale installations, performances, and – more recently – social gatherings. His work has been presented internationally in Mexico, Colombia, Germany, The Netherlands, Ireland and Iceland. Selected exhibitions include the University Museum of Contemporary Art (Mexico City, 2018), the Institut fur Kunst und Kunsttheorie (Cologne, 2019) and the Embassy of Mexico in Ireland (Dublin, 2025)
