Working at the intersection of ecology, migration, science & technology, and multispecies co-resistance through plant-based media art, sound, and moving images.

Alexandra Gelis is a Colombian–Venezuelan–Canadian media artist, educator, and researcher. Her research-based, process-driven practice is grounded in plant-based research-creation, collaborating with communities, botanists, scientists, and activists to examine how migration, extractivism, conflict, and the climate crisis are inscribed in landscapes. Through film, sound, performance, fibres, and interactive installations, she creates living archives of co-resistance and care, exploring the phytosphere as a living atmosphere where roots, breaths, and flows interpenetrate and human life is just one inflection of a more-than-human grammar.

Gelis’s work has been presented in film festivals, museums, and public spaces across the Americas and Europe, and she frequently teaches, writes, and lectures on research-creation, plants, and political ecologies.
