Marjetica Potrč

Marjetica Potrč (b. 1953) is a Slovenian artist and architect whose practice interweaves anthropology, ecology, natural sciences and architecture in the mediums of drawing, architectural case studies and public collaborations.

Her work is centred on universal, communal, local and global issues and processes of transformation in cities, rural communities and civil society.

In her site-specific, participatory, collaborative projects, the artist acts as an advocate on behalf of local residents and Indigenous peoples. Among her enduring interests are the Rights of Nature which over the past decade have gradually begun to be enshrined in law alongside human rights.

Her mural in Helsinki Biennial is a narrative drawing focused on the need for humans and nature to live together as equals.
