Casas Riegner anuncia la representación de la artista Camila Rodríguez Triana

With great enthusiasm, we announce the representation of artist Camila Rodríguez Triana, whose work explores decolonization, ancestral memory, and the repair of past violence. Her practice unfolds through an interdisciplinary language that moves between film, weaving, ceramics, and installation, building a bridge between past and present. Her works function as processes of remembrance and ritual, intertwining stories that invite reflection on mestizo identity and territory, rooted in her own body and family history.

She holds a degree in Social Communication and Film from Universidad del Valle and completed the program Cinema and Contemporary Art at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains (France). In 2020, her participation in the Rolex Mentorship Programme, under the guidance of renowned artist Carrie Mae Weems, marked a milestone in her career. This mentorship strengthened an ongoing investigation into identity, body, and territory—central axes of her practice.

Her work draws on traditional crafts such as weaving, pottery, goldsmithing, and woodworking, understood not only as techniques but as vehicles of cultural resistance and the transmission of knowledge. She describes her artistic process as “making memory with the feet and with the hands.”

In November 2024, the artist presented her first solo exhibition at Casas Riegner, titled The First Turn of the Spiral. The exhibition proposed a rereading of ancestral worldviews—particularly those of the Mhuysqas—in which feminine and masculine energies are not conceived as opposites, but as complementary forces in constant dialogue. The spiral, the central symbol of the exhibition, embodied this cyclical vision of life and the balance between dualities.

At the end of May 2025, Camila Rodríguez Triana will present a solo show at the ArPa fair (São Paulo, Brazil), further expanding the international reach of her artistic practice. She will also participate in the group exhibition Vita Contemplativa, curated by Sandrine Servent, to be held at the Garage Centre d’Art d’Amboise, France, in 2025.
