Carolina Caycedo (London, 1978) is a Colombian multidisciplinary artist living in Los Angeles.
Her immense geographic photographs, lively artist’s books, hanging sculptures, performances, films, and
installations are not merely art objects but gateways into larger discussions about how we treat each other
and the world around us. Through her studio practice and fieldwork with communities impacted by
large-scale infrastructure and other extraction projects, she invites viewers to consider the unsustainable
pace of growth under capitalism and how we might embrace resistance and solidarity. Process and
participation are central to Caycedo’s practice; she contributes to the reconstruction of environmental and
historical memory as a fundamental space for climate and social justice. Informed by Indigenous and
feminist epistemologies, she confronts the role of the colonial gaze in the privatization and dispossession
of land and water. Caycedo conjures common goods and collective bodies in what she refers to as
Geochoreographies, to examine the environmental, economic, social and spiritual impacts of extractivist
industries, raising questions about the future of our shared resources, and the parameters of a Fair
Transition.
Caycedo is a 2023–2024 Soros Arts Fellow and a 2023–2024 Getty Research Institute Artist In Residence.
