About the Organizer
Sofía Gabriel del Callejo believes in the force of collectivity for change. Formally trained in dance, during advance studies in Management, Policy and Culture she began to deconstruct her practice by using the liminality and freedom of performance to explore the relationships between movement, language and politics. Her current practice uses facilitation, performance, organizing, curation and administration as tools for feminist resistance against exclusion and violence. Examples include orchestrating simple performative actions for individuals to emerge as accomplices for change. Sofía is originally from Mexico City.
Supported by High Concept Labs and the Monira Foundation in Joint Residency at Mana Contemporary, with additional support from Comfort Station.
