Gabriela Serra is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and facilitator whose personal art practice deeply informs and shapes the work of Buenezas.

Their creative and community‑centered approach brings together ecology, art, storytelling, and collective ways of knowing in projects that support connection across ages and cultural experiences.

Originally born in Caracas, Venezuela, Gabriela is now based in Miami, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Their practice spans filmmaking, photography, community facilitation, and ecological inquiry, with a focus on regenerating relationships — between humans and non‑humans, our bodies and the land, and our present selves with ancestral histories. 

With community, family, and friends, they co‑create intergenerational spaces and projects where oral tradition is practiced and honored, where the love and care of neighbors making food and tending gardens together is celebrated, and where vulnerability is held with care. Although much of their art is ephemeral, the relationships and connections formed through this work remain transformative. 

Gabriela’s work includes facilitating workshops, community support circles, and ecological arts experiences that are grounded in shared inquiry and place‑responsive practice. They often explore plant‑based materials, natural pigments, and communal cooking and gardening, weaving together cultural memory, ecological awareness, and creative expression. 

Their art practice and facilitation work are not separate but intertwined: the insights, questions, and creative processes that arise through their personal work feed into the programs, curricula, and experiences designed through Buenezas. This integration offers both integrity and continuity across contexts — from community workshops to institutional partnerships and collaborative events.
