Bio

Exploro los cruces entre migración, memoria, género y territorio, genero investigaciones y obras que articulan etnografía sensorial, escritura, cine ensayo, cartografías, instalaciones inmersivas y performance. Me interesa pensar las migraciones forzadas y el exilio político desde lenguajes cinematográficos y estéticas disidentes, pero también en relación con los vínculos con los más–que–humanos y con los andamiajes corporales, emocionales y culturales que configuran nuestras sensibilidades colectivas. Actualmente estoy vinculada a la Facultad de Artes Integradas y a la Escuela de Comunicación Social de la Universidad del Valle, donde coordino la Oficina de Extensión y Proyección Social. Formo parte del grupo de investigación NEXUS, del Programa de Estudios Críticos sobre Transiciones Políticas de la Universidad de los Andes y de los Grupos de Trabajo de CLACSO en Arte y Política, así como en Fronteras, Regionalización y Globalización. Mi obra busca abrir espacios de amor político, interfaces de compasión y poéticas audiovisuales que permitan experiencias compartidas de memoria, cuerpo y territorio.
