ABOUT Indira Urrutia
Indira Urrutia, destacada artista chilena, experimentó sus primeros años en una pequeña comunidad agrícola. Posteriormente, tras residir en Santiago, decidió emigrar a Estados Unidos.
Durante un periodo de cuatro años y medio, recorrió el continente americano en bicicleta, llevando consigo un proyecto fotográfico que abogaba por el arte, la cultura y el medio ambiente. Este proyecto fue desarrollado después de co-fundar, en 2008, 2Greenprints.org.
En los años 2015 y 2016, contribuyó al proyecto "we are all refugees" en Grecia, ofreciendo una perspectiva etnográfica ante la crisis de los refugiados sirios.
Indira no se limita únicamente a la fotografía; también explora otras formas artísticas como la técnica mixta, instalaciones, video experimental y, desde 2015, el tejido de metal.
Durante su labor como educadora en el programa público "Friday Night" en el Museo de Young, redescubrió la obra de Ruth Asawa, reconectándose así con la tradición del tejido, una destreza arraigada desde su infancia en Chile.
Desde 2019, reside en Barcelona y actualmente se encuentra inmersa en una residencia artística en Ras Al Khaimah, Emiratos Árabes.
Su obra ha sido expuesta en lugares destacados como el De Young Museum, la Casa Museo Pablo Neruda en Chile, el Círculo Artístico Real en Barcelona, la Galería del Aeropuerto Internacional Fontecchio en Italia, el Instituto Cervantes en China y el Festival de Arte RAK en Ras Al Khaimah, Emiratos Árabes.
ENGLISH
Indira Urrutia, a prominent Chilean artist, experienced her early years in a small agricultural community. Later, after living in Santiago, she decided to emigrate to the United States.
During a period of four and a half years, she toured the American continent by bicycle, carrying with her a photographic project that advocated for art, culture and the environment. This project was developed after she co-founded, in 2008, 2Greenprints.org.
In 2015 and 2016, she contributed to the "we are all refugees" project in Greece, offering an ethnographic perspective on the Syrian refugee crisis.
Indira is not limited to photography only; She also explores other art forms such as mixed media, installation, experimental video, and, since 2015, metal weaving. During her work as an educator in the "Friday Night" public program at the de Young Museum, she rediscovered the work of Ruth Asawa, thus reconnecting with the tradition of weaving, a skill rooted since her childhood in Chile.
Since 2019, she has lived in Barcelona and is currently immersed in an artistic residency in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
Her work has been exhibited in prominent places such as the De Young Museum, the Pablo Neruda House Museum in Chile, the Royal Artistic Circle in Barcelona, the Fontecchio International Airport Gallery in Italy, the Cervantes Institute in China and the RAK Art Festival in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
