WORK EXPERIENCE
Artistic Director
aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival, Toronto. July 2005 – present
Sinara Rozo is a Toronto-based arts administrator, curator, and educator. As co-founder of the annual aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival, she has over 20 years of experience in artist-run environments, including work in managerial roles. She has played a pivotal role in addressing the gap in representation of the Latin-American media arts in North America through her work as a founder of the first Latin-American film festival of Canada, the Latin American Artists Network (LAAN), and as a long-serving board member for various artist-run centres in her community.
Sinara has extensive strategic planning experience in the context of arts organization management, as demonstrated through her work with the Independent Media Arts Alliance (IMAA), The Media Arts Network of Ontario (MANO/RAMO), and the Latin-American Arts Centre (LAAC). Applying what she has learned from her years of experience in arts organization management, Ms. Rozo-Perdomo remains committed to maintaining aluCine as a sustainable organization that reciprocates the dedication of its staff, volunteers, and artists. Over the years, Sinara has successfully secured funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, Canadian Heritage, the City of Toronto, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Her curatorial work has been featured at several festivals in Mexico, Peru, Hungary, the USA, Colombia, Brazil, Germany, and Canada. In addition, she is a programming consultant for the Ontario Latin Arts Festival and Pan-American Food in Toronto, ON, for the Intercontinental Indigenous Art Biennale, and for the Festival Mundial de Cine Extremo de Veracruz, Mexico, FMCEX.
