Fabiola Burgos Labra (1984, Chile) is currently living and working in Brussels, Belgium. She studied art at PUCV in Valparaíso and completed an MFA degree at PUC in Santiago, and is also a Laureate from HISK (2022- 2023). She mainly works with sculpture, textiles, and precarious found objects and materials. She has organized and produced several exhibitions and interventions in the public space, focusing mostly on markets and popular fairs.
She is currently working on projects that prioritize the ephemeral/tactile over the stable/visual, where she reflects on the boundaries between nature and culture that modernity has generated.
In September 2025, she will start a one-year research project at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp within the Art & Ecology research group. The project seeks to reconnect with textiles by valorizing and humanizing the relationship between weaver and material, offering a way to resist the dichotomy between time and production in industrialized societies.
