Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti


interdisciplinary artist that weaves and is in constant  motion in between disciplines.
Inhabiting these art practices as a performer, theatre maker, vocalist, visual artist, musician and teacher.

From Bolivian and Brazilian descent
she moves in between' spaces, which is where she finds enough friction to occupy unknownness, magic, mystery and indiscipline. It also allows her to re-imagine story-telling possibilities.

The narratives that convey her practice come from a deep relation with ancestral and transgeneration trauma, memory and ways to heal through bodily and sensorial somatic work, plant medicine and ritual. Her work is deeply interwoven in post-colonial justice, the paradox and beauty between grief and celebration, Andean Cosmology as a source of reclamation, resistance and resilience. Embodiment embedded in sonic fabrics while speculating myths through word oracles. She is a neo-mestiza, a spiritual activist, a femme defender and a Moon lover.


She collaborates with a wide range of collectives, artists, bands and initiatives a.o. International Anthem Recording Company,  Silverbones, The Paper Ensemble, Space is the Place, Fiber,  Schweigman&, Boogaerdt/VanderSchoot, Sarah Vanhee, Nicole Beutler projects, Amenti Theatre Company Nineties Productions, Ulrike Quade Company, MTG Bambie, de Veenfabriek.
