Gabriela Green Olea is a dance artist living on Wangal/Darug land who works across many mediums and in inclusive environments. As a daughter and granddaughter of a refugee family in Chile, her work responds to the ideas of cross-cultural identity and the transitional space of belonging to community and place. Most recently, Gabriela is interested in Dance as Activism and is a 2021 resident artist at PACT on Gadigal Country with her group CALLE, made up of dancers and activists of the Latin American diaspora.
