Marcos is an award-winning transmedia journalist, photographer, and filmmaker. Through documentary, oral history, and hybrid forms of media, he focuses on narrating stories that intersect between music, memory, social movements, and immigration.
His work has been exhibited and installed in Spain, Germany, Puerto Rico, Panamá, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and the US, including the Printed Matters Art Book Fair in New York City and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, MOCA. The Society for Visual Anthropology (American Anthropological Association) and the American Oral History Association have awarded his interactive work.
Marcos was a fellow of the provost scholarship at The New School, where he graduated with honors from the Media Studies MA program. He is a Narrative & Culture Fellowship Grandtee at the Opportunity Agenda.
Through Radio COCOA and Noisey (VICE MEDIA), he has written, filmed, and photographed Latin America's underground and alternative music scene. He has recently covered social justice movements and worked with organizations such as New York Communities for Change, United for Respect, Make The Road New York, and Lincoln Center. His writings have been published in the Latinx Project at NYU, and his pictures have been featured in The New York Times and Business Insider.
He is also interested in archives and memory preservation, so he created “Where We Were Safe,” an interactive documentary/oral history project about the lost and destroyed historical places of Salsa music in New York City. This project has been awarded and projected at various festivals around the world.
He currently works at NY1 as an Associate Producer.
