Laura Acosta
Concord University
Columbia / Canada
She is a Colombian-Canadian interdisciplinary artist who uses textiles and the body as instruments to explore social interaction. His experience as an immigrant has been translated into research on identity politics, displacement, belonging and public space. Laura's compositions, which are articulated between theater and play, introduce foreign bodies into well-known public environments as a way of creating spaces of otherness. Politically, her work questions how different individuals inhabit, embody or invent spaces.
