Martha is a Colombian BIPoC choreographer, performer and researcher and decolonial curator and artistic director of Plataforma/SurReal: Berlin.

Martha’s body of work in recent years has been based on indigenous wisdom related to climate change and extinction. Through a transdisciplinary reflection of bodies, Martha opens a space of dialogue between continents in which the themes of climate chaos, the relationship between humans/more-than-humans and the visible with the invisible world find a platform.

Her work is dedicated to the decolonization of conventional artistic practices, structures and spaces.

Martha has been awarded the prestigious Pina Bausch fellowship and her work has been invited to festivals and venues in Europe, Asia and the so called Americas. She is artistic director of Plataforma/SurReal Berlin Festival.

Her curatorial praxis reflects on (de)coloniality processes and forms of survival of artists migrating to Europe or engaging in geopolitical approaches of native peoples of the Abyayala. In 2021 and 2022 she was associate curator at Radialsystem Berlin.

Hincapié Charry has unfolded several unlearning spaces focused on underrepresented BIPoC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) expressions. She facilitates dialogues between continents with an ancestral wisdom perspective, embodying earth and water based native ontologies.

Her lived experience in the last years has been based on Indigenous knowledge related to climate change and extinction. She has been sharing, with several native communities, practices related to ceremonies and regarding traditional ecological knowledge, TEK, shared by elders who draw intercultural and trans-Indigenous bridges. 

Martha has collaborated with multiple institutions internationally in collaborative dialogue that prioritises collective perspectives and diverse worldviews, while addressing topics such as climate chaos, ecocide, the human/more-than-human kinship, and the interplay between the visible and the invisible worlds, with an ecofeminist position.
