Jimena Bermejo

Jimena Bermejo is a multidisciplinary artist, immigrant, mother, and educator from Mexico City, whose practice oscillates between dance and performance art. Her practice is concerned with the examination of race, trauma, feelings of being an “other,” and various aspects of human relations, among others. Jimena's performances range from abstract and sculptural to visceral and provocative. Being an educator comprises a significant and beloved aspect of her practice and various collaborative projects, often facilitating movement pieces and presentations for people with little to no previous experience or not on the path to become professional dancers.

Jimena Bermejo holds a BFA in Dance from The Boston Conservatory and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design's Studio for Interrelated Media. She has performed nationally and internationally including at The Cathedral Arts Festival in Belfast, U. K, Le Lieu in Quebec, The Judson Church in NYC, Teatro Dallas 19th International Festival, in Dallas TX, Montserrat College of Art Gallery, Distillery Gallery in South Boston and 808 Gallery in Boston. Jimena has been invited to be a panelist for events and organizations including Area Code, Cambridge Arts Council, and has initiated and curated the series "1 Minute Solos'' in Boston since 2016 and “The Poetics of Aging'' (2021) in collaboration with freeskewl, a two-day event with a panel and performances to discuss dance and agism. Jimena is one of the recipients of the 2021 Live Arts Boston Grant for collaboration with La Trinchera Dance from Puerto Rico and two other Boston-based dancers.

She is currently faculty at the Berklee College of Music and at the College of the Holy Cross where she serves as the Director of the Dance Program and was appointed co-director of Mobius Artist Group in the Summer of 2021.
