The work of Gala Berger (Villa Gesell, Argentina, 1983) is deeply rooted in Latin America. She has been co-creator of a series of independent spaces and collective projects. In recent yeras she has lived in Argentina, Costa Rica, Peru, Canada, Mexico and developed several initiatives in African countries working with local artistic communities.  Her textile collages reflect the eclectic global nature of her and our lives: traditional African patterns printed in China; fabrics bought at a small quilting store on a roadside in Buffalo, New York; textiles dyed with tree bark by her close friend from the Amazonian Shipibo people; Latin American patterns, her own prints and interventions. Dye-sublimations of digital images she downloads from an open-source archive of 3-D objects become the main characters in these textile collages.

The independent projects she helped launch include Museo La Ene and Feria de Arte Impreso Paraguay in Buenos Aires; the artists collective Retablos por la Memoria in Peru (2022 -2024) and Casa MA (2018- 2024), a platform dedicated to promoting creative practices that emerge from diverse identities in the territory of Central America. She was a fellow at ICI Kampala, Uganda 2022, and RAW Acadèmie CURA #6, Senegal 2019.

Gala has had solo and group exhibitions in Santo Domingo, São Paulo, Lima, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Seoul, Queretaro, Sorocaba, Medellin, Montreal, Tampere, Rio de Janeiro, San Juan, San Jose, Guatemala City, Stockholm, Santiago, Rosario, Toronto among others. Since 2022, she has been collaborating with Shipiba artist Metsá Rama in exploring the intersection of art and the environment, together with policy makers from the European Commission’s Directorate General for the Environment and scientists from the Joint Research Center on a project focused on art and agriculture in the Amazon.
