Material Languages

Material Languages brings together a variety of biomaterials developed from organic waste and discards. Begun in 2018, this expanding material archive presents an open field of possibilities, materials that retain the memory of their origins and acquire new forms, textures and potentialities through experimentation processes.

The project emerged from a question: what can a material become when we consider its full potential? As opposed to the logic of discarding and classifying, which limits what we consider valuable, Loana Flores presents a practice of observing and listening to what is yet to emerge.

Material Languages, by Loana Flores, is part of EART’s Dissemination Programme for resident artists. The programme gives visibility to their work while creating spaces for critical thinking, experimentation and professional exchange.

This project is part of EART’s collaboration within La Capella’s Concèntric Programme.
