Trained in Anthropology and Dance at the National University of Colombia, she has developed a practice that understands movement, perception, and creativity as forms of knowledge and as ways of engaging with difference. Her current work lies at the intersection of anthropology, sensory studies, social innovation, and dance.
In previous research projects, she examined the challenges of integrating Indigenous temporalities and storytelling traditions into documentary montage processes within participatory filmmaking practices, a line of inquiry developed in her M.A. in Visual Anthropology at FLACSO Ecuador. She has also employed videodance as a methodological and creative tool for exploring sensory memory through a gendered lens.
Her current work focuses on designing experiences from somatic, decolonial, and posthumanist perspectives. Through research-creation methodologies, sensory ethnography, and participatory practices, she designs and facilitates spaces where diverse perspectives and ways of perceiving the world can come together, transform, and complement one another.
She is the creator of ´Dancing Smells Together´, a workshop-based methodology that integrates movement and olfactory thinking to foster encounters among people with diverse cultural and migratory trajectories. In this work, kinesthetic empathy and olfactory thinking serve as tools for exploring alternative forms of relationship, memory, and belonging.
