+++
Natali Aguirre Montaña is a Rotterdam-based designer and artist working across disciplines. With a background in architecture, spatial design, and interior design, her interdisciplinary practice bridges research, decolonial and feminist theory, and material exploration. Trained in Contextual Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, her work ranges from tufting to bioplastics, from ceramics to photography, and from textiles to spatial installations.
She was a member of the Lecture Series Committee (LSC) at Design Academy Eindhoven, where she contributed to the organization, hosting, and photography of talks featuring speakers from around the world.
Her graduation project, The Cosmic Implication of Food from Abya Yala, is an invitation to pause, reflect, and inhabit the decolonial potential of everyday acts of care. Inspired by woman-headed households in Colombia, where food preparation and sales often become acts of resistance, reframing the domestic not as a lesser or private realm, but as a site of political and cosmic significance.
Her work has been exhibited at the Van Abbemuseum with her project Portal to Jaguarity (2024), and at Vienna Design Week in the collaborative exhibition Don’t Move the Fountain (2024).
