Carolina Aranibar-Fernández is a Bolivian born artist who earned her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University, culminating in a Faculty Research Grant and a travel Fellowship in Qatar. Her practice rigorously traces flows of capital–cartography, maritime trade, cash crops, and industrial metals– across bodies-of-water from the perspectives of the native, gendered, and racialized bodies that move it. That is, she re-embodies capital exposing how contemporary markets insidiously hide historical oppression. Imperialism to colonialism, and now capitalism. Her installations are minted, projected, gilded, casted, woven, beaded, filmed, stepped-on, and crushed, but always spoken-for and register at various levels of action & passivity, and visibility & representation. She insists on disrupting institutional pedagogies (patriarchal knowledge), building instead from oral histories and indigenous craft (matriarchal knowledge). Her work has been the subject of multiple scholarly, journalistic, and popular publications. She has exhibited internationally in New York, the National Museum of Art in Bolivia, the Kathmandu Triennial in Nepal. Finally, she is one of three Mellon Foundation Projecting All Voices Fellows at Arizona State University.
