Manuela Morales Délano
– Casa Wabi 2024
Community Project
This project aimed to promote thinking and reflection around the body, exploring its use as a creative instrument. It consisted of a visual exercise through direct printing or mono-printing, where the body was used as both a drawing tool and a printing plate, to delve into performative forms and image creation. The exercises were always a critical conversation about how we perceive and are perceived through the body.

Manuela is an artist -and curator- whose practice spans various media, often resulting in site-specific installations that address the economic and social impact of colonial legacies. Her works often include abstract accounts of wealth accumulation, dominance, and devotion. This allows her to connect with specific
contexts and geographies, that she reconstructs and fictionalizes in order to create tensions between imposed narratives, vernacular legends, and history.
In 2016 Manuela Morales Delano founded Mario Kreuzberg, an interdisciplinary project space located in Berlin. In 2022 the project was relocated to Salts in Basel. Recently, she has exhibited her work at Gallery Kendra Jayne Patrick, Kunsthaus Baselland and Oreilles In
ternaxionales. Manuela Morales Delano graduated with an MA from the Institute of Art Gender Nature HGK Basel FHWN in 2022.
