Martha Hincapié Charry

Martha Hincapié Charry is a Colombian BIPOC artist, choreographer, performer, and independent curator, based in Berlin. Charry is a Pina Bausch Fellow. She studied dance in her home country and dance theater at the Folkwang-Hochschule Essen under the direction of Pina Bausch. Her creations have been presented in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. She has received several awards and scholarships.
She has danced at the Wuppertaler Tanztheater, Stadttheater Münster, Bochumer Schauspielhaus, Theater Aachen, as well as in numerous independent productions with artists such as Okwui Okpokwasili, Asad Raza, Stefan Brinkmann, Sasha Waltz, Teodor Currentzis, Jochen Sandig, The Rundfunkchor, the Berliner Philharmoniker, Thomas Fiedler, Alessandra Pirici or Bob Wilson, a.o.
She is artistic director of the Plataforma/SurReal Berlin festival and curator of Radialsystem Berlin, La Sierra Artist Residency, and the Bienal de Danza de Cali, Colombia. In her artistic and curatorial practice, she reflects on the processes of decolonization experienced by artists migrating to Europe or as part of local utopias, opening a space for dialogue between continents, generating a transdisciplinary reflection on the human body, (de)colonialism, indigenization, as well as on the critical relationship between humans and nature and the visible and the invisible world.
