InterArt Lab 2026
An interdisciplinary collaboration and performance project exploring the lived experience of urban life in New York City. We bring together Colombian and U.S.-born artists living in NYC across music, dance, film, visual art, writing and movement, in a two-month creative process that culminates in a public multimedia performance project exploring the lived experience of urban life in New York City.
Announcing our
2026 InterArt Lab Fellows
Gwen Charles
Conceptually-based, interdisciplinary artist gwen charles works with themes of grief, loss and rest, reflecting on the impermanence of our Ecological environment and human transitory emotional states through performative actions embodied by the female figure.

He founded the Brooklyn Motion Capture Dance Ensemble to explore this concept through the medium of dance, writes participatory chamber music to explore it through concert music settings, and develops open source tools to enable others to create similar work.
Daniela Becerra
Dancer and choreographer with training in contemporary, ballet, and urban styles. Her work explores musicality, fluidity, and emotional expression. She is passionate about constant growth and uses movement as a tool for connection, storytelling, and personal freedom, bringing authenticity and presence to every performance.

Natalia Camargo Duarte
composer, cultural producer, and the founder and Artistic Director of AndeArte. Her music bridges folkloric tradition with contemporary chamber and orchestral writing, resulting in rhythmically vivid and emotionally charged works that explore identity, storytelling, and movement. With a voice shaped by the sound worlds of Latin America, Natalia creates music that sings, dances, and invites listeners into spaces of presence and connection. Grounded in collaboration and community rooted creativity, her work often reflects on memory, migration, resilience, and the collective rituals that hold people together. She is devoted to building bridges, not ladders -expanding access, uplifting underrepresented voices, and fostering a more humane and interdependent arts ecosystem. Through her compositions, she seeks not only to express, but to listen: to people, to place, and to the questions that shape who we are.
