Zahara Gómez´s work
aims to explore violence from the perspective and particularly, from the
memory of the territories that have suffered it. She uses tools as
archive research and establishing close relations with organizations
that work on human rights, specifically on topics related with enforced
disappearance and reconstruction of history and collective memories.
Working on these topics is a statement in front of the chaotic reality we are living in, they´re at the same time an effort to establish relations between it and contemporary art.
She works as a teacher in different art centers as: Escuela Activa, Centro ADM, Gimnasio del Arte, Centro de la Imagen. She's an activist in Foto Feminas and Women Photograph. Visit her website here to learn more.
