Natasha Fortson is a multidisciplinary artist and curator based in Brooklyn, with roots in Mexico,and Los Angeles. Her practice merges traditional fine art techniques with a background in graphic design, holding a BFA from Pratt Institute and Elisava School of Design and Engineering. Committed to expanding her technical skills, she has participated in residencies such as Arquetopia Printmaking Residency in Puebla, which led to her current fellowship with Arquetopia Alumni Honors Residency: Echoes of the Unseen Artistic Practice. As an independent curator, she has organized exhibitions and happenings that foster international artistic and musical connections, most recently Sangre de Plata during Mexico City Art Week. She also uses her personal art practice to inform her pedagogical work at Assembly, Recess, mentoring fellows on building sustainable careers as multidisciplinary artists. Drawing from her cultural heritage and environment, Fortson works across oil painting, sculpture, and printmaking, integrating found objects and sustainable materials. Her work explores themes of time, space, trauma, healing, memory, and growth, often challenging socio-political hierarchies through structures of reciprocal care and collaboration. Her process is deeply tactile and research-driven, incorporating sound, texture, and community engagement to create layered, abstract narratives. Through open-ended storytelling, Fortson invites viewers to find personal meaning in her work, fostering connections between self, space, and collective consciousness.
