• Walking through Comala: I align myself with the idea of “the Latin American” as a cultural and political choice, but I do not see it as a homogeneous culture. I am interested in exploring its contradictions and scraping away historical layers.

Diana Ortiz (1993, Bogotá) is a composer and orchestrator. A graduate of the National University of Colombia, she completed her master's degree in composition at the Folkwang Universität der Künste (Essen, Germany), where she deepened her interest in the interaction between acoustic instruments and electronic media, with a particular focus on chamber music and collaborative work with performers.

Her works have been performed by the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia, the EAFIT Symphony Orchestra of Medellín, Sirène: Orchestre d’harmonie de Paris, the Atemporánea guitar quartet, among others. Between 2017 and 2020, she co-produced the Festival Mujeres en la Música Nueva. Ortiz maintains an ongoing reflection on identity, decolonial perspectives, and navigating the historical complexities of Latin America through sound.
