Yamile Villamil Rojas is an artist and researcher whose work explores the connections between memory, territory, and shared sensory experiences. Trained at Paris 8 University and the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, she is currently pursuing a PhD at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her research-creation practice lies at the intersection of art and sensory anthropology, with a particular interest in smell as a medium for relation and storytelling. Through performances, olfactory installations, and collective inquiries, she examines forms of presence and creative practices of co-presence, exploring how intimate and collective narratives can be reactivated and transformed through sensory experience. Her work creates spaces of encounter where the body, breath, and perception become tools for unlearning, reinventing, and sharing in new ways.
