Choreographer, artist and researcher, aniara rodado explores witchcraft and interspecific relations based on the plant world, from a transhackfeminist and counter-colonial perspective.
Her choreographic practice aims to go beyond dance and the human body to question the ecological crisis, techno-scientific fetishisation and the hegemonic powers that standardise ways of life, bodies, alliances and knowledge.
Her performances, installations, texts, drawings, videos, dance pieces, etc. are created in open source, with a preference for old/low technologies and domestic DIY. She has actively participated in the southern lab network labSurlab, and in the international exchanges of arts, communities and technologies Estarter 1, 2 and 3.
In recent years, her work has been presented at the Click Festival in Helsingor, the National Museum of Denmark, La Casa Encendida in Madrid, the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Andalucía, the Centro de Cultura Digital de Ciudad de México and the Centro Nacional de las Artes CDMX-México, Festival el Aleph CDMX, the Un-Split Festival in Munich, the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, the Espace Vanderborght-ULB in Brussels, the Espace Multimédia Gantner in Belfort, the Transpalette in Bourges and the TEA in Tenerife, among others. She was also co-curator of the exhibition Ou/Vert Phytophilie, Chlorophobie & Savoirs Situés (Transpalette, Bourges). She won the dance and new technologies prize at the Festival Les Bains Numériques.
aniara holds a doctorate in science and art from the Ecole Polytechnique de Paris and teaches at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art d'Annecy-alpes (ESAAA).
