Matheew Carrillo M. is a Colombian curator and researcher based in Venice.

Working across curatorial practice and research, he has collaborated with institutions and platforms including the Italian Pavilion at the 59th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, where he served as Curatorial Assistant, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, where he held a fellowship at the Venetian branch of the Solomon R.

He has developed exhibitions and collaborative projects with international artists across Venice, Rome, Turin, and Seoul. Recent projects include Mistranslation (2026) at Panorama, presenting the work of Natalia Mejía Murillo; Thinking About the Future: At the Edge of Utopia (2024) at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, featuring works by Melanie Bonajo, Jonathas de Andrade, Nina Fischer & Maroan El Sani, Mapa Teatro, Superflex, and Young-jun Tak; and Footsteps Are Ringing Very Far Away (2023), Ivan Šković’s first solo exhibition in Italy, presented at Spiazzi.

His work examines exhibitions as sites where narratives, contexts, and social imaginaries are continuously negotiated and reconfigured. He is currently pursuing studies in Postcolonial Perspectives in Audiovisual Media at Stockholm University, within the MA programme in Visual Arts and Expanded Cinema at IUAV University of Venice.
