ISABEL GIMÉNEZ
BIO
I am a multidisciplinary artist dedicated to exploring the deep connections between art, science, and cultural heritage. Through my work, I strive to build bridges between these fields, using visual language to reflect on humanity’s relationship with Antarctica and its significance for our shared future. Living in Punta Arenas, at the gateway to the White Continent, I draw constant inspiration from the powerful landscapes and scientific narratives that define this unique region.My artistic practice includes leading workshops in Punta Arenas that invite participants of all ages to engage creatively with Antarctic themes. These workshops aim to foster awareness, empathy, and dialogue about the challenges facing the southernmost continent, especially in the context of climate change and environmental stewardship. I was honored to receive a prize lecture award for my work related to Antarctica — a recognition that strengthened my commitment to blending art and science as a way to inspire reflection and action.I am an active member of the Public Engagement with Antarctic Research (PEAR) Action Group of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), where I work to promote connections between Antarctic science and wider communities through cultural initiatives.at the same time, I am a member of the Committee for the Cultural Utilisation of Space (ITACCUS) of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), contributing to global conversations about how art and culture shape our understanding and imagination of antartica and outer space. My creative journey is guided by the belief that Antarctica challenge us to think beyond borders — to reimagine our shared future on Earth and beyond, and to embrace art as a powerful tool for connection, awareness, and hope
