Lives in France.

Laura Huertas Millán was born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1983. She moved to Paris to study, where she obtained her doctorate in Ethnographic Fictions in 2017. Since then, she has produced works in the genre of ethnofiction, a method that mixes anthropological evidence with elements of creative narrative. Her work deals with themes of imperialism, the post-colonial Other, and the objectification of non-Western bodies. So far, Millán has created a total of seven films. Many of Millán's works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions, solo exhibitions and film festivals. Millán has also written articles for art publications such as "De l'Amérique" (2011), "Les mythologies absentes" (2013), "The Obsidian King" (2016).
