This exhibition by Colombian artist Natalia Castañeda explores the connections between art and science, specifically archaeology and ecology. Visitors can expect a multimedia experience featuring drawings, paintings, videos, installations, objects, ceramics, and sculptures that reflect on humanity's relationship with the natural world.
The exhibition "Natalia Castañeda. RAÍCES Y FUTURO" (Roots and Future) by Colombian artist Natalia Castañeda is driven by a desire to unite art and science, focusing on what can be felt and represented through artistic expression, and what science reveals about the planet's current state. The exhibition unfolds as a synthesis of two fundamental disciplines for understanding origins and destinations: archaeology and ecology. Castañeda's work interrogates the forms of nature—water, earth, stones, mountains—and engages with them through a wide array of formats and resources, including drawings, paintings, videos, installations, objects, ceramics, and sculptures. This multimedia and polyphonic exhibition opens up the world to the viewer's gaze, guiding their sensitivity and mind to question contemporary ways of living in a world increasingly besieged by environmental crisis. This exhibition is the fifth in the "La expresión americana" program, co-organized by the Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo and the National Museum of Anthropology (MNA). The MNA's presentation includes a participatory work designed by Castañeda, intended to make the show an interactive, dynamic, and transformative experience.
Entry to the exhibition is free of charge. Visitors can find further details and a catalog for download.
