About the Item
Ropes by Alejandra Artizabal
Dimensions: 75 cm x 65 cm
Materials: Fique - Furcraea andina .The plant is transformed manually into textiles and ropes and used
in various applications in agriculture, handicrafts and other products.
We are one. Mother earth holds us altogether. The peasant, the CEO, the designer, the artist. Colombi- an, French, American, African... How can I help open a conversation where this unity is addressed? Each of us, from our own contexts and professional practices should have purpose and conscious- ness as the pivotal force that shapes cultural dynamics and gives place to empathic transformations. From my place as an artist I wish to open conversations about nature, social narratives and manual traditions. I feel the need to be a part of this, aiming to connect and open an empathic visual space of communication and reflection. I believe in art with a purpose. Environmental purpose, social purpose and aesthetic purpose. In the world’s hectic climatic agenda and social disruption, we need to activate and motivate a transi- tion towards a sustainable global future, installing cooperation in daily deeds and shifting from unconscious consumerism and automated actions to conscious decisions, as local actions have global consequences. I want to promote natural resources and materials, like Fique, main symbol of my artistic work. I want to elevate autochtonous practices and native traditions, and people whose lives are sustained around the transformation of this plant. I want to give voice to crafters and redisco- ver manual practices. Through my art, I want to take you back to mother earth though a visually appealing journey. I was born in Colombia, a tropical paradise: biodiverse, environmentally rich, resourceful and exotic. It was once a country filled with violence, blood and drug cartels, and now slowly regaining its splen- dour. I work with fique - Furcraea andina - a species native of south american andean region, and one of the Colombian national fibers. The plant is transformed manually into textiles and ropes and used in various applications in agriculture, handicrafts and other products. As a country we are now aiming to create new social narrative around our resources and the people that shape them. It’s time to “turn over the new leaf”, understanding and learning from the past but generating new opportunities and ways of doing in our country, like substituting coca crops for other sustainable legal plantations. Besides this, it is important to reinstall a new way of farming, by slowly re-educating farmers and consumers, highlighting and leveling-up new materials and species and giving way to an agricultural environment around peaceful politics.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
