marcela oñate-trules

marcela oñate-trules is a lens-based artist, dreamer, daughter/sister/friend, and storyteller dedicated to filling the gaps in archives by creating (audio)visual records that tell the stories of people and territories close to her heart. She sees her practice as one of ‘embodied archiving’, where she practices deep listening and bears witness with her body/mind/heart/spirit and camera. Originally from the Bay Area in Northern California, Marcela is currently pursuing her Master in Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Her work has been showcased at Film Diary NYC (USA), Coyaiqhue Cultural Center (Chile), and FECISO – Festival de Cine Social y Antisocial (Chile).
