About the Artist:
Gabriela Serra (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist, certified Restorative Justice circle-keeper, and urban farmer born in Caracas, Venezuela, and currently based in Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her practice comprises filmmaking, photography, and community facilitation (through workshops and support circles) focusing on exploring and regenerating relationships between humans and non-humans, bodies and the land, and the present self with ancestral histories. With community, family, and friends, she co-creates intergenerational spaces and projects in which oral tradition is practiced and honored in value for the love and care of neighbors making food and tending gardens together and where we can be vulnerable with each other. Although her art is often temporary, the relationships and connections formed remain transformative.
