Maya Saravia was born in Guatemala City, currently lives and works in Berlin. Her work focuses on the research of movement as circulation, and as potential and actuality within the human body and the endless relations around it; the crisis of presence in contemporary life, and the processes of abstraction in which collective narratives are constructed. A large part of her practice is focused on the formation of musical and dance traditions in relation to spirituality, conflict and trauma. She works on installation, painting, archive and performance.
