Milko Delgado

Milko Delgado (Chiriquí, Panama, 1995) (he/they) is a visual artist and cultural activator whose practice explores the intersections of body, territory, and nature from a queer, marica, and HIV-positive perspective rooted in the Panamanian context. Working across visual arts, video, performance, photography, and installation, Delgado develops projects that address identity, memory, desire, and dissident ecologies. Their work also engages with cultural and pedagogical processes that foster learning, experimentation, and community-based collaboration. A graduate of the International School of Film and Television (EICTV) in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, Delgado has participated in international platforms such as La Bienal en Resistencia (Guatemala), Red Reminds Me… (Visual AIDS, USA), and Montage of the Unseen – Art World Osaka (Japan). They received the MAC Panamá Young Art Prize (2025) and the Prince Claus Seed Award (2023). Their work is included in collections such as Kadist, MAC Panamá, Mercantil, and Casa Wabi, where they were artist-in-residence in 2022.
