María Isabel Arango Velásquez (Colombia)

María Isabel Arango Velásquez uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore topics such as traumas, language and the formation of meaning. She questions communication systems, political discourse and the concept of history itself. Currently, she is focused on the necessity of relations and possible forms of communication between human beings and other species, and to achieve this goal, she is involved with the ritual as a form of expression.

During her residency, María Isabel Arango Velásquez will work on the project “Let the soil be as soft as your feathers”, a requiem for vanishing bird species and the ecological trauma that their impending disappearance will cause.
