Carolina Caycedo (London, 1978) is a Colombian multidisciplinary artist living in Los Angeles.
Her immense geographic photographs, lively artist’s books, hanging sculptures, performances, films, and
installations are not merely art objects but gateways into larger discussions about how we treat each other
and the world around us. Through her studio practice and fieldwork with communities impacted by
large-scale infrastructure and other extraction projects, she invites viewers to consider the unsustainable
pace of growth under capitalism and how we might embrace resistance and solidarity. Process and
participation are central to Caycedo’s practice, she contributes to the reconstruction of environmental and
historical memory as a fundamental space for climate and social justice. Informed by Indigenous and
feminist epistemologies, she confronts the role of the colonial gaze in the privatization and dispossession
of land and water. Caycedo conjures common goods and collective bodies in what she refers to as
Geochoreographies, to examine the environmental, economic, social and spiritual impacts of extractivist
industries, raising questions about the future of our shared sources, and gearing towards a fair transition.
Caycedo is a current nominee for the 10 Artes Mundi prize in Wales, a 2023 United States Artists fellow
and a 2023–2024 Getty Research Institute Artist In Residence.

Caycedo received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of
Fine Arts from the University of Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. She has held residencies at the DAAD
in Berlin; The Huntington Libraries, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California; and
the Office for Contemporary Art in Norway, among others. She has participated in numerous international
biennales including the Sharjah, Sydney, Chicago Architecture, São Paulo, Istanbul, Berlin, Havana, and
Whitney Biennials; and has received funding from the Via Art Fund, Creative Capital, Prince Claus Fund,
Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, California Community Foundation, Colombian Ministry of
Culture, and Getty Foundation.
