What if we could restore our rainforests? What if we could reveal the cosmos by peeling back a first layer of skin? Natalia Arbelaez recently shared her thinking and the intricacies of her artistic process as she worked towards her presentation for the UVNT Art Fair in Madrid this March and a simultaneous solo show opening at Greenwich House in New York. Despite her workload and the seriousness of the colonial histories she faces, she was playfully pushing her work in a net positive direction, searching for some hope for the Amazon, Colombia, the United States, herself, and the most vulnerable. On 7th March, you can see her work in Madrid or in person presenting a talk in New York.
