ROSANA ESCOBAR - World Hope Forum

Rosana Escobar
Working as a bridge between disciplines, as a biologist and textile designer, Rosana traces materials back to their ecosystem to explore the interwoven relations between materials, people and the landscape. Working across countries from Colombia to the Netherlands, she comes in touch with the farm and local crafts, as well as the global market and industry, exploring new opportunities for materials to be transformed, reclaiming their value and proposing future scenarios. For one of her ongoing projects, she focused on the material transformation of an Agave fiber, originally from Colombia but also available in Europe as a by-product of the coffee industry.
