Gabriela is an international award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her early documentary work includes ethnographic documentaries addressing daily life and indigenous rituals in the Peruvian Andes (i.e. Ñakaj, Textiles in the Southern Andes, Mamacoca, and Qoyllur Rit’i: A Woman’s Journey), and in recent years her documentary work has centered in social/political issues as well as the intertwined nature of human rights and collective memory and memory making (i.e. Media, Women, and Rebellion in Oaxaca, Keep Your Eyes On Guatemala, and Agents of Change: A Legacy of Feminist Research, Teaching and Activism at the University of Oregon ). In addition to her documentary work, Martínez is a scholar who specializes in international communication and the political economy of communication.
