"Fátima Rodrigo’s practice explores the intersections between modernity, popular culture, and gender identity in Latin America. Through installation, textiles, sculpture, and sound, she traces how European avant-garde languages were absorbed, translated, and reimagined through television, music, entertainment, and other forms of everyday visual culture, revealing the complex negotiations between local and global imaginaries.
Drawing on long-term research into twentieth-century media and design, Rodrigo creates immersive environments and interactive installations. Through beads, sequins, metallic threads, and industrial textiles, her work questions conventional distinctions that historically separate “traditional” from “avant-garde'' artistic expressions, while highlighting the contributions of popular culture, women, and queer performers to the construction of alternative modern visual languages.
