Eliana Otta is a Peruvian artist living between Athens and Vienna. She holds a Master in Cultural Studies and a PhD from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
Her inquiries focus on human-nature relations, labor issues and gender inequality, intersecting feminism, poetry and politics. She addresses these issues by creating spaces for sharing intimacy, trust and curiosity.
Growing up in a (post?) colonial context and her current migrant experience inform her approach to art as a realm to build up communities and rehearse other possible worlds. Her work has been exhibited in individual and collective exhibitions in many cities around the world, including: Athens, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cusco, Karachi, Kinshasa, New York, London, Seoul, Vienna.
She co-founded the artists collective Bisagra in Lima, the ecofeminist collective Mouries in Athens and coordinated the curation of a permanent exhibition in Lima. She is a yoga practitioner and teacher, a butoh apprentice and a dj.
