Artist: Manuela García Aldana (Colombia)

In Manuela García Aldana´s work, listening is the beginning. She is a visual artist from Bogotá, Colombia, who lives in Berlin since five years. What moves her most are stories from people. Existentialist questions remark details from the everyday life. Storytelling of different cultures, speeches and situations… The need to make them visible is one of the aspects of her work. These stories are usually told through videos, installations, objects and actions. The public space has an important role where some of them happen or are presented. Apart from this, since her life as a migrant in Berlin, Manuela has explored more intimate aspects of her personal processes by drawing. The theme and question for home has become a central point of her work. In 2016 Manuela Garcia Aldana graduated from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. Recently she was selected to participate in the program Insurgencias in Berlin. Her work has been presented in Germany , 2017 “Filmouflage” Kleiner Salon, Berlin; 2017 “Fieber Festival” Meinblau Projektraum (Pfefferberg). Berlín. 2017 “Tocar” Puderraum. Berlin. In France, 2015 “Bisagros”. La Petite Galerie. Rouen. In Spain, 2015 “Manifiestos en Arena” en Tuiza de Federico Guzman. Museo Reina Sofía. Madrid. 2011 “Sin título”.
