Elizabeth Gallón Droste (born in Bogotá – based in Berlin) conducts artistic research combining text, photography, video and sound, activated as readings and conversations, listening sessions and soundwalks, workshops and installations. Her research focuses on entanglements and becomings with bodies of water and the memories of the landscapes, through evocations, affective ecologies, and relational ontologies, focusing on territo~rivers as articulators of extensive live networks. Elizabeth completed her Ph.D. in Anthropology at the Freie Universität Berlin with the research “Voicing Rivers Atrato” (2024). Droste has participated in Meandering at TBA21 Academy in Cordoba (2023), and documenta15 in Kassel (2022). Among her last publications is the book ‘Útica, under the murmuring waters’ (2024). Since 2014 she has been part of diverse transdisciplinary learning processes and networks between arts and science, co-activating and learning from local collective encounters and audio- visual creations addressing memory and socio-environmental conflicts, actions, and potentials for living together.
