Camila Rodríguez Triana

Cali
*1985
Filmmaker and visual artist

Residency Period: Apr 7 - Jul 7, 2026

As a visual artist and filmmaker, Camila Rodriquez Triana uses performance, sound, video, and installation to explore the relations between memory and identity. Her artistic practice unfolds as a critical and deeply personal inquiry into the narratives that have long been accepted as truth. Questioning histories shaped by power, colonization, and exclusion, she approaches art as a space for rewriting—where silenced, erased, and marginalized voices can re-emerge with dignity. Her work engages research, collaboration, and storytelling as tools of decolonization, transforming memory into a site of healing and resistance.

Rooted in her Mhuysqa ancestry and mestiza identity, Rodríguez Triana navigates the tensions and entanglements between Indigenous knowledge and Western frameworks. Through gestures of “remembering with her feet” and “remembering with her hands,” she activates embodied forms of knowledge: walking ancestral territories, relearning crafts, and working with materials such as clay, metal, and thread. These processes become acts of reconnection, where the body, the land, and the cosmos mirror one another. In weaving together personal and collective histories, her practice opens a space to reclaim what has been obscured, and to imagine identity as something continuously reconstructed through memory, care, and presence.
