Natalie Estay Valenzuela is a first-generation Chilean multidisciplinary artist raised in Boorloo and currently living on Gadigal land. Her practice explores dichotomous identity and cultural memory through textiles, design, photography and paper works. Inspired by her Latinx heritage, Natalie’s bold prints, handmade fashion, and cultural collages are crafted with a mindful, sustainable approach across education and community arts platforms.
Vanessa chats to Natalie about her art, inspirations and what it means to be a latinx artist in so called Australia. She also shares the tracks that have soundtracked her life so far.
