Bio

Jimena Pérez Salerno is an Argentinian artist, based in Brussels and recently graduated from a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies) (2021-2022). She works and researches between Brussels and Buenos Aires. She experiments in the performing arts, artistic research, and teaching fields. As a dancer and choreographer, she collaborates and engages continuously with other artists as a fundamental part of her exploration of collective work. She considers choreographic practice as a system of relations 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. In her last project, she has been researching on the concept of expanded choreography as a critical modality for political awareness, reflecting on linear time and productive behavior.
