Medhin Tewolde Serrano is Eritrean-Mexican and resides in Chiapas, Mexico. After her training in documentary filmmaking, she became concerned about telling other people's stories. Since then, she has dedicated herself to accompanying participatory video processes and community communication. Accompanying these processes reveals to her own process of identity construction as an Afro-descendant woman, and this makes her return to cinema, convinced of its transformative power and the importance of creating new narratives and representations of Afro-descendants, their resistance and struggles. She directed the documentary feature "Negra" (2020), the animated short "Nyanga" (2023), and the documentary short "Carabalí" (2026).
