Nadia Granados

Nadia Granados(Nadia M. Granados Delgado) (born May 3, 1978 in Bogotá, Colombia) is a Colombian performance artist who uses her body concept in combination with multi-media technologies to explore relationships between the representation of state violence in mainstream media, institutionalized machismo, heterosexual pornography and violence against women.

[2] This sardonic parody of an over-sexualized Latina character speaks in an unknown, possibly indigenous but fictional language, which is then dubbed via video projection with hyper-political subtitles, creating an uncomfortable mix of eroticism on the one hand and radical left polemics on the other.

By contrasting these antagonisms, Granados invites the viewer to reconsider their ideas on post-colonialism, gender stereotypes, auto-representation, and pornographic imagery, while simultaneously exposing manipulative, pop-cultural media strategies and openly promoting the rejection of neo-liberal, imperialist values.

In 2013, the Granados was awarded the 28th Franklin Furnace Fund, NYC, for her performance Carro Limpio, consciencia sucia.

[3] Granados has presented her work in Colombia,[4] Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela and Canada,[5] as well as in France, Italy, Spain,[6] and Germany.
