Sally Gutiérrez Dewar is a visual artist graduated in Fine Arts (UCM), filmmaker (Masters in Media Studies, New School University), PhD in Humanities (University of Murcia), and researcher, with an international experience linked to contemporary art and non-fiction film. She works with expanded formats in a hybrid field between contemporary art, visual essay and non-fiction film. From a critical and feminist position that questions the colonial construction of history and the present, her artistic projects explore the ways of inhabiting and resisting in geographies where space, non-human beings and objects are also social actors in the networks and crises of globalization.
She has developed projects based on collaboration with local communities in South Africa, the Philippines and the community of Madrid. She is part of the art collective Declinación Magnética, and of the DOCMA documentary film association. Her work is in the collection of the Reina Sofia Museum, MUSAC, CDAN, Pierogi Files, NYC and private collections. He teaches at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Salamanca and at the Creative Campus, UE, Madrid.
