Carolina Caycedo: Growing Deep Roots
September 9, 2026 – January 4, 2027
Los Angeles–based Colombian artist Carolina Caycedo addresses humanity’s relationship with nature through her multidisciplinary artistic practice. Drawing on principles from environmental justice, Indigenous philosophies, and ecofeminism, Caycedo’s works challenge us to understand nature not as a resource to be exploited but as a living entity that unites people beyond borders. Her practice is animated by a sustained consideration of how we might give back to our ecosystems through art and in our everyday lives. This solo exhibition showcases new and recent works in sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and video that address the interrelated issues of water and land stewardship and just energy transition.
