Pedro Cabello del Moral

Digital Fellow

Pedro Cabello del Moral is a doctoral student in the
Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures department at CUNY. He
researches recent Spanish and Latin American film and media artifacts
that collectively weave a decolonial patchwork. He combines his academic
work with his filmmaking practice, continuously searching for new ways
to transform cinematic conventions and to rethink the hierarchical
structures that typically define film workspaces. Among his nonfiction
works there are documentaries on the post-memory of Spanish
dictatorship, migrant youth within the education system in Spain, and
art practices in the NYC migrant justice movement.

As a transnational activist, Pedro participates in social justice
movements in Madrid and NYC, all of which place accompaniment practices
at the center of their politics. In this respect, he has contributed his
filmmaking and researching skills to anti-eviction and anti-deportation
campaigns, which reclaim people’s rights both to the city and to
universal freedom of movement.
