Bio <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Juliana Silva is a Colombian visual artist currently based in Vancouver, Canada. She received her Master of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the National University of Colombia. In 2022, Silva was a grant recipient from the Canada Council for the Arts for her project Tactile Textile: Dance Forms in the Street. She was an artist in residence at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in 2016 and 2019, and has been exhibiting her work in Colombia and Canada for over two decades. Silva works with sculpture, installation, photography, painting, and animation. Throughout her interdisciplinary exploration, Silva investigates how cultural meaning is expressed through objects and their materiality, particularly focusing on fabrics and textile ornaments that carry deep cultural significance. Her research examines these materials as artistic tools rich in historical and symbolic value. Recently, Silva has broadened her practice to include art-making as a meditative process. She emphasizes that art serves not only as a creative endeavour but also as an aesthetic experience that promotes well-being\u2014an essential remedy for the demands of today’s fast-paced world.<\/p>\n\n\n
