SALOMÉ EGAS (she/her/ella) is proudly Ecuadorian: an interdisciplinary artist, educator and bilingual children’s book author who is permanently questioning her identity through dance, theater, film and textile arts. Her works incorporate radical self-love and re-indigenization as tools to empower the ancestral knowledge carried by immigrant and femme bodies of color.  

Salomé is a 2024 Brooklyn Arts Council Grantee. She was 2023 NYC Women’s Fund Recipient and a “Narrative & Culture” Fellow at The Opportunity Agenda with her project “Más que un Pétalo”- an interdisciplinary show that had a week-long, sold-out run at The Brick Theater- as part of the IV Exponential Festival, in January 2024. In 2022, she was a Brooklyn Arts Council grantee and an American Immigration Council “New American” Fellow.

As an educator, Salomé has taught dance, theater, art and Spanish to different age groups, at several public and private after school programs in NYC. She is currently a Teaching Artist for Abrons Arts Center, Brooklyn Arts Council, Dancing Classrooms and Cocoon. After founding By Salo Books, she published two bilingual children’s books and several print-at-home bilingual workbooks. Her performance research work has been published at American Theater Magazine and NYU's Confluence.

Salomé has performed in several venues across NYC (Brick Theater, Dumbo Archway, DTWN BKLYN, Joe's Pub, LaMama, Abrons Arts Center, El Puente, etc), the tri-state area (Greenwich Arts Council, Tang Museum, etc.) and internationally in Ecuador, Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina, Canada and Romania. Her visual works have been exhibited at Sotheby's Institute, CUNY, Skidmore College and Syracuse University. She is part of El Puente’s CADRE, and has participated in Motive's Movement Artist Residency (2022) Creative Capital's Latinx Artist Workshop (2020), Broadway Advocacy Coalition’s Theater of Change (2019), and EmergeNYC (2018).
