Barbara Santos

Guided by the Amazonian sabedores and medicine people, Barbara Santos’ work focuses on making visible socio-environmental transformation processes by using the conjunction between art and technology. Santos is a visual artist and independent researcher with a large experience of working in the Vaupés region’s jungles in Colombia, and she is the author of the book La curación como tecnología (Healing as Technology). Her long-term projects are weaved collectively and are focused on the aesthetic and ontological dissonances that encounters between complex cultures can bring. Barbara Santos is doing a PhD in Amazonian Studies at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
