Darly Benneker (1992, Colombia) is is a Dutch-Colombian visual artist whose practice is deeply shaped by site-specific research. She holds an MA in Education in Arts (2020) from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam and an MFA in Sculpture from the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin.
In her work, she reimagines physical and emotional spaces as extensions of a fictional past, reshaping her personal narrative through installations, sculptures, and videos. At the core of her practice lies an exploration of the fragile notions of home and belonging, particularly the tension between feeling at home in unfamiliar environments and confronting the uncertainty of what “home” truly means.
Her work reflects on migration not only as a socio-political reality but also as an aesthetic and material process. She understands migration as a state that carries material memories across borders, creating spaces and objects where home can be imagined anew. Rooted in themes of migration, identity, and home, her practice resonates on both a personal and universal level, blurring the boundaries between reality and speculative fiction.
