Natalia Nakazawa è un’artista interdisciplinare con sede nel Queens che utilizza i medium della pittura, del tessile e della pratica sociale. Utilizzando strategie tratte da una serie di esperienze nel campo dell’istruzione, dell’amministrazione artistica e dell’attivismo comunitario, Natalia gestisce gli spazi tra istituzioni e individui, spesso invitando alla partecipazione e all’immaginazione collettiva. I suoi arazzi tessuti incorporano immagini di dominio pubblico provenienti dagli archivi online e dalle collezioni di importanti istituzioni, stratificando immagini che mettono in discussione le identità nazionali. Per quasi 10 anni ha ricoperto il ruolo di vicedirettore degli EFA Studios, sostenendo un’ampia rete di artisti contemporanei attraverso spazi studio sovvenzionati e opportunità di pratica professionale nel centro di Manhattan.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”92557″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”92554″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”92551″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Natalia ha conseguito un Master in Studio Practice presso il California College of the Arts, un MSEd presso il Queens College e un BFA in pittura presso la Rhode Island School of Design.

Natalia Nakazawa is a Queens-based interdisciplinary artist working across the mediums of painting, textiles, and social practice.

Her woven tapestries incorporate public domain images from the online archives and collections of major institutions, layering imagery that questions national identities. She held the position of Assistant Director of EFA Studios for close to 10 years, supporting a large network of contemporary artists through subsidized studio spaces and professional practice opportunities in midtown Manhattan.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”92558″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”92555″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”92552″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Natalia received her MFA in studio practice from California College of the Arts, a MSEd from Queens College, and a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design.
