Alejandro Valencia (b. Pereira, Colombia) is an artist working between New York, Miami, and Manizales, Colombia. His practice engages with notions of historicity, exploring the forces that disturb, reconfigure, and transform it, often manifesting in site-responsive installations that incorporate found materials, archives, sound, images, stories, and myths from a specific place.

Valencia earned his BFA from New World School of the Arts in Miami (2017) and his MFA from Columbia University (2026). He pursued advanced research in Colombia, completing studies in Historical Memory at the Universidad de Antioquia (2020) and in Political Aesthetics at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano (2021).
