Matilde Araoz Ellis
Goldsmiths MFA Award
2025
Matilde Araoz Ellis is an Anglo-Bolivian artist based in London. Her practice spans across sound, moving image and sculpture to explore spaces that exist in a fragile balance, interconnected by economic histories and geopolitics of mining. Her work often reimagines existing stories: historically, mythically and speculatively, inviting viewers to reconsider how collective and personal histories shape our understanding of the present and the possible futures that emerge from it.
Goldsmiths MFA Award
The Goldsmiths MFA Award is a partnership between Acme, Goldsmiths, University of London and Jane Hamlyn. Aiming to provide a bridge between art school and professional practice, the award includes a generous bursary, rent-free studio space and a mentoring programme. Recipients of Acme’s Early Career Awards Programme work from shared studios in order to encourage an environment of peer support and critical dialogue.
