BIO

Maria José Arjona's interdisciplinary practice is intimately linked to the experience of time as a determining action in constructing socio-affective structures that surpass the bounds of the human to propose a unique form of poetic-political resistance. Rooted in long-duration performance and with previous experience in contemporary dance, Arjona questions concepts of identity, visibility, and access - as fundamental axes of exclusion and domination policies - through articulations with the world and its things, where the archive appears not as an element to recognize the past but instead as a vehicle to imagine a collective and horizontal future.

​

​Arjona is a guest artist and winner of the DAAD fellowship in Berlin (2024-2025) and participated in the research program at Tisch University at New York University (2023-2024).
