Beatriz Polo Iañez develops an artistic practice focused on the relationships between memory, territory, identity, and migration. Through photography, drawing, and transdisciplinary approaches, her work explores the persistence of inherited silences, intergenerational transmission, migratory movements, and the ways in which landscape becomes inscribed in both subjective and collective experience.
