Cristina Arrazola-Oñate Tojal (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1965) holds a degree in Advertising from the University of the Basque Country. She later studied Audiovisual Language and Digital Editing Techniques at the Centre for Image and New Technologies in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Álava), where she later taught as a professor. From her dual role as a filmmaker and editor, she is interested in the syntax of the image, research, and experimentation in this field, driven by the possibilities offered by new technologies. Her work has always been linked to a collaborative conception of audiovisual production and a search for alternative expressive channels, as well as the dissemination of new ways of doing and transmitting.
She has worked as an editor at companies like Signo Digital (Bilbao, 2001) and European Virtual Engineering (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 2005), and in technical editing and production support roles for the Rodríguez Foundation (1994-2012). As a freelancer, she has worked in video editing with artists such as Estíbaliz Sádaba, Marcelo Expósito, Miriam Isasi, Arturo/Fito Rodríguez, Txaro Arrazola, and Gabriel Villota. She was part of the Amarika Assembly from its creation until its dissolution (2008-2012), and during that time, she was responsible for the production of exhibitions for the three galleries of the Provincial Council of Álava. Since 2008, she has worked on the annual emerging artists conference Inmersiones. Currently, she works within the Erakusmeta collective in the programming of Zas Kultur Espazioa in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
