Edinson Quiñones Falla
Edinson Quiñones is a visual artist and practitioner whose creative processes are self-referential, tracing his lived experience between the countryside and the city. His work reflects on the ways of seeing and perceiving these territories—particularly through the contradictions embedded in the image of the coca leaf: on one hand, an ancestral and sacred plant; on the other, a symbol heavily stigmatized by the media and associated with drug trafficking, organized crime, and Colombia’s global image as a cocaine-producing nation marked by violence.
Quiñones creates installations, interventions, drawings, photographs, and videos that recreate, relate, reveal, and critically examine a problem that has become deeply embedded in the Colombian imaginary.
He is the founder of the Salón Internacional Intercultural de Arte Indígena Manuel Quintín Lame Chantre, a member of Minga Prácticas Decoloniales, and co-director of the Popayork Artistic Residency.
