Victoria Barbarito (she/her) is a documentary director, editor, and videographer living on Lenape territory in Upstate NY. As an adopted, queer artist with Mexican ancestry, she tells stories that seek to understand familial relationships, transformations in nature, and systems of care.

She holds a BFA in Film & Television from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and is a DTI-certified postpartum doula. She firmly believes care work is intertwined with her art, both rooted in her devotion to embodied presence and deep listening.

As a filmmaker, she primarily collaborates with Indigenous culture preservationists, chefs, youth educators, land stewards, and community herbalists of Turtle Island to preserve and uplift stories of Indigenous food sovereignty. She’s committed to continuously learning how to cultivate film practices that center healing rather than perpetuating harm. As Marketing Director with Herban Cura, her wish is to create and share digital content that honors the histories and stories of land, food, and medicinal plants.
