I am Gala Garrido – a Venezuelan Visual Artist, Poet and Cultural Manager based in Caracas, Venezuela. I’m an expert in creating networks and collaborative alliances. Through my artistic practice and my professional training as a visual communicator and photographer, I have been able to participate in different editorial and audiovisual projects. I enjoy working with creatives from different areas to develop cultural devices.
Between 2010 and 2022, I was the General Director of the self-managed cultural space La ONG. I was committed and dedicated to the development of a local and international and interdisciplinary community of creative talents within the arts, music, photography, theater, performance, among other fields. My role ranged from the coordination of exhibitions, events, meetings, seminars, talks, plays, performances, and concerts, to the design and management of an academic program in photography that took place every year. La ONG had three different exhibition spaces that hosted more than twelve exhibitions per year. I was in charge of selecting artists, the curatorship of the shows, and in some cases, of producing the exhibitions. The project also had a foothold on the blog of La ONG, a large repository on contemporary art in which various Venezuelan researchers came together and published reflections on the image.
Since 2021, I’m one of the guest curators of the collision Don’t Delete Art along with the artists Spencer Tunick, Savannah Spirit, Osman Can Yerebakan and Gruenholtz. This project is a global collaboration between NCAC, Free Muse, Article 19, Bex Collection, among others.
