Milena Bonilla (b. Bogotá) is a visual artist, educator and independent researcher, living and working in Amsterdam. She is interested in practices and knowledge that propose and place particular questions about language and agency as ontological properties exclusive to humans, and how this precept is embedded in the way in which economic policies under capitalism operate. This perspective is informed by research on epistemic diversity and its colonial conditioning, as well as by notions on art as medicine.
Her work has been shown, screened and performed in the last years among others at If I Can’t Dance I Don’t Want To Be Part of Your Revolution, Amsterdam; BGSW Ustka and Slupsk; After the Butcher, Berlin, CCA Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw; Galeria Municipal do Porto; Nest, The Hague; Framer Framed, Amsterdam; Museo del Oro Quimbaya, Armenia, Quindío (CO); Temporary Gallery, Cologne, and Manifesta Biennial, Les Parallèles du Sud, Marseille.
