NAP + Art Fair Amsterdam, September 11 - 14, 2025
At NAP+, Madé van Krimpen presents a solo presentation by Lucila Pacheco Dehne, bringing together two series: Companions and Roots Are Tongues That Speak A Million Angry Languages.
Companions is an ongoing series of different pairs of shoes. These pairs of shoes are companions or representatives of emotional, physical or personal traits. The pairs are border crossers between the human, the social and the natural. At the same time, they assert the presence of a whole body.
In Roots Are Tongues That Speak A Million Angry Languages, Lucila explores the journey of plants such as maize, tomato, and mugwort, which arrived in Europe through colonization, trade, and violence. Some became staple crops, while others were labeled “invasive” or banned for their use in contraception and abortion. The work consists of six sculptural plant bodies, serving as monuments to migration and resistance.
Lucila Pacheco Dehne works through a sculptural and installation-based practice, investigating themes such as intercultural resistance, identity, and the environment. Her practice extends to lectures, performances, cooking sessions, and workshops.
Lucila Pacheco Dehne (b. 1994, Berlin, DE/CO) lives and works between Amsterdam and Berlin. She studied Fine Arts at HBK Braunschweig (2015–2021) and completed her MA in Planetary Poetics at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam in 2025.
