Gabriel Zúñiga

About Gabriel:

Gabriel Zúñiga is a Colombian artist working across dance, performance, writing, and pedagogy. Her practice—a sustained triple escape through movement, image, and text—sits at the intersections of body, memory, language, and identity, understanding movement as a form of embodied thought and affective resistance.

Since 2019, she has been developing studies in dance and performance, with a research focus that articulates trans experience, Latin American territory, and the poetics of the body. This research includes her presence in “Reverdecer” critical dance studies project in Bogotá (2022), which explored movement in relation to territory, ritual and environment. She has created works such as Studies for Guitar and Gender, The PassionChero, Clerical dreams of my ancestors, Witchcraft and memory exercises and The Latin Faggot, the latter presented in March 2024 at the PERFORMdANCE festival in Salzburg. In all of them, she explores Latin and trans identity from the body that carries it, the rhythm with which it presents itself, and the gesture that defends it, co-creating and sharing the art experience with different international artist as well.

In her work, intimate and public gestures converge; dance becomes a living archive and writing a score of the body. Her work moves between the processual and the scenic, prioritizing the construction of spaces where the body can name itself, reinvent itself, and be shared. Through this corporal methodology, her practice contributes to a critical cultural dialogue and the safeguarding of intangible, embodied heritage.
