Natalia (Nika) Sorzano is a Colombian artist based in Rotterdam, working primarily with mixed media installations comprising sculpture, painting, music and performances-to-video. With a BA in law and art, she began her career as a human rights researcher and policymaker, mediating between LGBTIQ+ activists and the Colombian government. This experience shaped her understanding of violence, identity and collective processes—central elements in her artistic practice. She finished her MFA degree (cum laude) at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam in 2016. She is co-founder of the facilitative platform GHOST and the queer artist-run community space Tender Center Rotterdam. She currently works as an educator and researcher at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam and is a tutor for the MFA Monstrous Futurities of the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She is also a board member for Papaya Kuir, an activist organization supporting immigrant Latinx queer communities.
Her individual and collaborative work has been shown in spaces such as Rewire Festival (The Hague, 2025), Matadero (Madrid, 2024), Radius CCA (Delft, 2023), O Festival for Opera, Music, Theater (Rotterdam, 2023), Artspace (Sydney, 2022), TENT (Rotterdam, 2021), Montez Press Radio (New York, 2020), Veem House for Performance (Amsterdam, 2019), Salón Nacional de Artistas de Colombia (Bogotá, 2019), and MACBA (Barcelona, 2017).
