​​

Iliana Olalde is an artist, art educator, and researcher whose work weaves together feminist pedagogies, participatory processes, and site-responsive approaches, engaging with themes of body, gender, memory, landscape, and collectivity. She works across video, installation, education, research, and participatory art, exploring how bodies, communities, and territories intersect.

​

A central strand of her practice focuses on feminist art. She has worked in Mexico and abroad through long-term and collaborative projects addressing body–gender relations, social and territorial contexts, and collective knowledge production. Her work engages diverse groups through somatic research, image-making, public space activations, and radical collective imagination.

​

Another significant strand of her practice is linked to Sociedad del Paisaje, a collective that investigates ecological contexts and more-than-human relationships through material, embodied, and sensorial approaches, through which she has explored symbolic connections between gender and nature.

​

She has a background in Art and Gender studies (UNAM), Communication studies (UNAM), and Contemporary Dance (INBAL), and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Arts Pedagogy (UV), focusing on participatory art processes. Her work has been presented in Mexico, the United States, Cuba, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Germany, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Thailand, and Guatemala, in venues such as Judson Memorial Church, Museo de Arte de Zapopan, La Revuelta, The Women’s Building, the International AWID Forum, and the IMPACT transdisciplinary symposium, among others.

​

She is currently a member of ICOM Mexico and the Committee for Education and Cultural Action.
