N.A.S.A.L. is pleased to unveil Duplicar la incertidumbre, a solo exhibition by Manuela García (1980), curated by Roselin Rodríguez Espinoza.
Born in Mexico City, where she currently resides, Manuela García spent her formative years in Medellín, Colombia. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the National University of Colombia in 2007 and later pursued a Master’s program in Visual Arts at the Brera Academy in Milan in 2009. In 2010, she developed her skills at the Textile Art Atelier of the School of Arts and Crafts in Granada, Spain, and completed the SOMA arts educational program in Mexico City in 2016. As a sculptor, Manuela explores the intricate relationships between bodies and space. Her work has been exhibited in various galleries and institutions across North and Latin America, as well as Europe.
