From the Caribbean and the Andes. Lives and works in France.


aniara rodado is a choreographer, artist and researcher. She explores interspecific relations through the plant world, from a countercolonial Southern transhackfeminist perspective. She experiments with witchcraft as a field of practices and sciences that question the scientific method currently in force — or the need to submit to it.
Her choreographic practice seeks to go beyond dance and the human body, questioning the ecological crisis, technoscientific fetishisation, and hegemonic powers that standardise forms of life, bodies, alliances and knowledges. Her performances, installations, texts, drawings, videos, dance works, etc. are created through open-source practices, with a preference for old/low technologies and domestic bricolage.
aniara rodado teaches at École Supérieure d'Art Annecy-Alpes (ESAAA), where she co-coordinated the Master Terrain and, since 2026, coordinates the DSRA. She holds a PhD in Arts-Sciences (Design) from Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

Her work has been presented at the Click Festival, Platohedro in Medellín, the National Museum of Denmark, La Casa Encendida, the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Andalucía, the Centro de Cultura Digital and CENART in Mexico City, Festival El Aleph, Un-Split Festival in Munich, the Cité Internationale des Arts and the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, Vanderborght-ULB in Brussels, Espace Multimédia Gantner, Transpalette, and TEA Tenerife, among others — as well as through other independent and self-organized spaces, festivals, and gatherings. She has been part of the labSurLab network, coordinated Estàrter, and co-curated exhibitions, among them OU/ERT — Phytophilie, Chlorophobie & Savoirs Situés. She received the Dance and New Technologies Prize at Festival Les Bains Numériques, and an Honorary Mention from the 2025 Prix Ars Electronica.
