2024 WINNER

Ana Elisa Sotelo

“Ana Elisa Sotelo’s practice not only provides an insight into the contemporary languages of photography and its potential by producing entanglements between the captured image and the ancestral Kené embroidery and painting techniques and history. It also deals with issues of sustainability questioning the colonial fracture that separates the human from the non human and produces an extractive world-system. I nominated her for the Prize because I believe this mode of approaching art practice is essential to shifting the way we perceive and experience the world.”

Sofia Dourron Nominator for South America
