Liliana Angulo Cortés

An Afro-descendant artist born in 1974 in Bogotá, Colombia. She graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and holds a Master of Arts degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago (Fulbright Scholarship). She has worked in different regions, seeking to contribute to the struggles of Afro-descendant communities through collective strategies, research-creation processes, and a critical artistic practice.

She explores memory and power through issues of representation, identity, racial discourse, and post-development. Her research engages the body, the image, and the lived experiences of participants, addressing questions of gender, ethnicity, language, history, and politics.

Her artistic practice spans multiple media, including performative practices, cultural traditions, historical reparation, and collaborative work with social organizations. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Colombia and internationally. Understanding artistic practice as an integral field, she works across all its dimensions.
