Noa Batlle is a Dominican artist whose practice bridges art, accessibility, and social justice. Since 2013, they have developed long-term collaborations with schools for the Deaf and public education, work that extends into institutional change — from conceiving and leading the first Department of Inclusion and Accessibility at Santo Domingo City Hall to advancing the country’s most inclusive elections to date. Their work spans classrooms and concert stages, including accessibility collaborations with Coldplay and Bad Bunny that marked unprecedented moments in the Dominican Republic’s music scene.

Batlle has taken part in international platforms such as the United Nations General Assembly in 2023 and the 19th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in 2024.

Current work centers on a research-based project developed during Batlle’s residency at the Dominican National Botanical Garden, where their workshop for public school students has been integrated into the Garden’s official community service program. This project includes the paper Decolonizing Language as a Practice of Peace: Epistemic Violence and Botanical Naming in the Caribbean and Latin America, which incorporates Batlle’s drawings approaching botanical forms through the lens of queer ecology. This work has been selected for presentation and publication at the Mérida World House Forum for Peace in 2026 at the University of Yucatán in Mexico and other international platforms, including the International José Martí Colloquium for a Culture of Nature in Cuba, and the Botanical Bridges Congress in the Dominican Republic.

Batlle was selected for the 2026 Concurso de Arte Eduardo León Jimenes, a biennial platform bringing together twenty Caribbean artists.
