Woman, Voice, and Defiance

(2017-2018)

This interdisciplinary project, awarded a grant by Idartes, consisted of a public space installation designed to contrast the frenetic rhythm of urban life with a large female sound apparatus emitting chants and discourses by women. The installation invited passersby to temporarily inhabit the space, experiencing the vibrations of these voices and being moved by narratives of resistance, struggle, and emotion. Supported by governmental, cultural, and civic institutions, the project culminated in a day of sounds and performances by female collectives from across Colombia at the National Library of Colombia.

Route of Fire: Artisans of San Cristóbal

(2019-2020)

This project focused on the memory of oral traditions and craftsmanship in the San Cristóbal region, through a collaborative process of creating visual memory with artisans from the historic San Cristóbal route. Over eight months, we visited their workshops and homes, sharing conversations and learning sessions on craftsmanship, while capturing the stories of these artisans. The project not only gave voice to their work but also legitimized their role in preserving cultural heritage, through a visual narrative shaped by their own perspectives.

Latin American Art is Not Just a Written Sentence

(2023-2024)

A self-managed collaborative effort between artists and cultural managers, this project posed the central question: «What is Latin American art?» Over three months (June to August), we hosted virtual and in-person encounters, lectures, music showcases, and performances, culminating in a traveling exhibition featuring 18 artists from 7 Latin American countries. The exhibition, which moved through Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, reached diverse audiences, forging connections with the local cultural scene and raising the visibility of Latin American art in New York. The success of this initiative, driven by collective effort, allowed for meaningful participation and dialogue on the identity and future of Latin American art.

Latinismo 2025 Unfolded a Contemporary Artistic Cartography in Queens

(2025)

At The Queens Council on the Arts in Long Island City, an exhibition pulsed as a powerful symbolic migration through July 12th: Latinismo 2025. The show brought together 46 artists from nine Latin American countries Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Cuba, Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil selected through an open call that revealed the urgency and diversity of regional artistic production.

Under the curatorial line “The Future Holds Something for Us,” the exhibition proposed an exploration of the future as an uncertain territory where hope and vertigo converged. This premise threaded through the disciplines articulated by the show, forming a dialogue between languages that transcended borders while interrogating what it meant to imagine tomorrow from Latin America.
