Dani Zelko

Dani Zelko (Buenos Aires, 1990) is an Argentine artist, poet, editor, and musician whose work explores the intersection between language, listening, and collective action. Since 2015, he has led the Reunión project, a series of publications and meetings that merge writing, orality, and politics. In this project, Zelko manually transcribes stories dictated by others, creating texts that are read in listening circles and published in limited editions. These works have been translated into several languages and presented in spaces such as the Reina Sofía Museum (Spain), the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, and SOMA (Mexico).

In addition to his editorial work, Zelko has published poetry books such as Y las fuerzas del desorden, Selección sudamericana por la muerte, and Post-natural. In the musical field, he released the album Dos personas in 2018, a work that combines elements of blues, folk, and jazz, and was produced by Ulises Conti.

His work has been recognized with awards such as the Visible Award (USA), the Braque Prize, and the National Fund for the Arts (Argentina). Currently, Zelko continues to develop his Reunión project and offers workshops at institutions around the world.
