dani neira is an interdisciplinary researcher working across curation, sculpture, text, and book-making. Rooted in queer-feminist methodologies of care, collaboration, and gathering, their practice is invested in alternative and affective modes of knowledge production. Drawing on queer and trans studies, archival research, and diasporic narratives, Neira’s practice aims to generate slippery sites of recognition, distortion, and potentiality. 

Neira holds a BA in Art History and Visual Studies from the University of Victoria, and is the co-founder of the collaborative curatorial project Dirty Dishes Collective. Neira is currently based between Berlin and the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, Canada).
