Places
Barcelona-based shibari/kinbaku artist, rope switch, teacher, performer and organizer, working with partner Vik as Vik & Gala. Started from the bottom/model role before developing curiosity for tying others and self-tying. Yugen Studio's 2026 bottoming-workshop bio presents her as an international teacher and performer as bottom, rigger and self-suspender, with a dark, strong, delicate and erotic Semenawa-oriented style and an active, conscious bottoming focus. Together Vik and Gala teach internationally, perform live sessions, were invited to Milan to participate in the Kinbaku Lab research group, created Kinbaku Lab Barcelona with other riggers and bottoms, and run Shizen Studio Barcelona. Gala also co-organizes The Fem Rope Getaway with Cath After Dark, a recurring retreat near Barcelona centered on trust, vulnerability, care and community among fems. EURIX 2023 / 2026 presenter, including a separate 2026 Gala Kinshinawa newcomer trace.
