Nicolás Rodríguez

Artist and cultural manager graduated from the Universidad de los Andes. I work in the creation and strengthening of art-related strategies which, combined with other disciplines, allow the empowerment and interaction with different communities in Colombia and their specific problematics. I’ve worked and am interested in the potential of curatorial practices, site specific interventions and printed publications as pedagogical devices and change ignitors. I also have experience in the art market.
