Jimena Pérez Salerno

Jimena Pérez Salerno is an Argentinian choreographer and dancer based in Brussels. She considers choreographic practice as a system of relationships that enables modes of imagination, attention, and coexistence. Her work leans towards performative practices that contemplate the activation of an unexpected context to think together through the experience of an implicated body.

She obtained a postgraduate degree from a.pass (BE) in 2022, an MA in Scenic Practice and Visual Culture from ARTEA and Reina Sofía Museum, Madrid (ES) in 2019, and a Degree in Choreographic Composition from the National University of Arts (AR) in 2014. In 2024, she received a research grant for upcoming talent from the Flemish Government. Her work is developed with the support of residency partners Kunsthal Gent, workspacebrussels, and Kunstencentrum BUDA. She will premiere her current project What has been stored in 2027 in coproduction with C-Takt, workspacebrussels and Kunsthal Gent.
