Gatch Gabrielle Gatchalian

Gatch Gabriela Gatchalian (She/They/He) is a cultural worker, writer, artist and curator from Manila, Philippines.

Largely working as a sort of midwife for the ideas of others, Gatch believes that art and any form of culture tend to achieve their greatest merits when the work and inquiry come from a place of sincerity. They believe in lowering the barriers of entry for artists and audiences alike, such that both making and witnessing are more accessible and as much for the people as possible.

Prior to joining the NEW INC team, they were involved in the Year of Uncertainty at the Queens Museum, 98B COLLABoratory in Manila, and the Koganecho Area Management Center in Yokohama. They have also worked independently as a curator with a number of artists, alternative art spaces and nonprofits across Asia before moving to New York city in 2019.
