Biography
Abstract and colourful, Olivia Funes Lastra's multidisciplinary work explores the phenomena of migration, translation and hybridisation. Using dyed and painted fabrics, the artist assembles ephemeral, nomadic architectures that carry memories of places she has visited and stories she has collected on her travels around the world. On her own or with others, Olivia Funes Lastra activates her installations with performative readings that resonate with words and colours from elsewhere.
