Gema Polanco (Valencia, 1992), focuses her work on installation, integrating textiles, drawing, music, photography and performance. Always in search of new places, alter egos and spaces of possibility that allow us to be who we want to be, beyond the historical and gender heritage that categorises and imprisons us. Her work appropriates and seeks alliances with rock and punk aesthetics, visual culture and the trance generated by music, the rebellious, the spontaneous and the surreal, so that new, honest, accessible and peaceful forms of care are possible.
