Estefanía García Pineda
Estefanía García Pineda is a visual artist and researcher whose practice emerges at the intersection of art, science, technology, and territoriality. Her work explores the connections between ancestral and contemporary technologies, grounded in the historical events that have shaped the territories she has inhabited—such as mining extractivism, pollution, drug trafficking, and armed conflict. From this perspective, she activates conscious, environmentally political, and critically engaged creative processes, rooted in Southern epistemologies and decolonial practices.
Her situated artistic practice weaves together body, memory, ritual gesture, and organic materials—such as coca leaf, marijuana, earth, beeswax, and honey—to activate forms of embodied knowledge and processes of collective symbolic healing. Member of Minga Prácticas Decoloniales and co-director of Popayork Artistic Residency, both spaces for collaborative creation, expanded pedagogy and living memory.
