Dani Zelko is a writer, publisher, artist and activist. Through a range of procedures, he generates publications and encounters to activate political disputes, listening practices and experiments with language. Since 2015 he has worked on "Reunión", a collective work and emergency printing mechanism based on conversations, real-time transcriptions, collective publishing and the release of books bringing together first-person voices in contexts marked by conflict. He gives classes and workshops in art and writing at institutions around the world. He has also published the poetry books "Y las fuerzas del desorden, Selección sudamericana x la Muerte" and "Post-natural". In 2025, through Caja Negra, he published "Oreja madre. Mi cuestión judía", an autobiographical essay that sets out to explore, both personally and collectively, how to think from within the Jewish community about spirituality, pain, violence and territory, run through by the intersectionality of the geopolitical conflicts between Israel and Palestine. Zelko has presented his work at international venues including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Universities of New York, Princeton and California, among others, and has won several awards and distinctions.
