Artist Profile
Natalia Palacino Camargo
Colombian interdisciplinary artist
Natalia Palacino Camargo (b. 2001) is a Colombian interdisciplinary artist from Bogotá D.C. based in Brooklyn, New York. Her practice spans works in installation, video, photography, performance, painting, design, writing and textile work. She is interested in pushing the boundaries of the body and how it is impacted by the cultural and environmental landscape of Colombia — positioned within its longstanding violent internal conflict and conservative chauvinist culture. Through her work, Palacino Camargo explores the deeper relationships between body politics and how identity is performed to fit the contradictory nature of the Anthropocene that denaturalizes the body. Her artwork centers on the experience of marginalized bodies and the immigration from rural landscapes to urban cities. Palacino Camargo holds a B.F.A. in Studio Art with honors in Philosophy from New York University.
