We are pleased to announce the representation of artist Camila Rodríguez Triana, whose work explores decolonization, ancestral memory, and the healing of historical violence. Her practice unfolds through an interdisciplinary language that moves between film, weaving, ceramics, and installation, building a bridge between past and present. Her pieces are acts of remembrance and rituals that weave together stories, inviting 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 later pursued Cinema and Contemporary Art at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains (France). In 2020, her participation in the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, under the guidance of renowned artist Carrie Mae Weems, marked a key milestone in her career. This mentorship deepened her ongoing research into identity, the body, and territory—core themes throughout her work.

Her artistic practice is nourished by traditional crafts such as weaving, pottery, goldsmithing, and woodworking—understood not merely as techniques, but as vehicles of cultural resistance and knowledge transmission. She describes her creative process as “making memory with the feet and the hands.”

In November 2024, the artist held her first solo exhibition at Casas Riegner, titled “The First Turn of the Spiral”. The exhibition offered a rereading of ancestral worldviews, particularly those of the Mhuysqa people, in which feminine and masculine energies are not seen as opposites, but as complementary forces in constant dialogue. The spiral, a central symbol in the exhibition, embodied this cyclical vision of life and the balance of dualities.

Camila Rodríguez Triana will present a solo show at the ArPa Art Fair (São Paulo, Brazil) in late May 2025, 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.
