Julieth Morales defines herself as a Misak artist by birth and mestiza by context. Her work challenges the representations of the indigenous subject which since the end of the 19th century has constituted the image of a Colombian nation. Being part of the Misak people who have been leading political struggles since the end of the 20th century to actively participate in national construction, Morales is part of a generation of indigenous professionals who transit between urban and rural areas and who by their own decision are resignifying the past to oppose the current economic system that is characterized by its extractive and individualistic practices that are not sustainable.
