Natalia Lassalle-Morillo (Bayamón, Puerto Rico) is an artist and director. Merging experimental film and theater methodologies, her practice examines memory and history through extensive and rigorous periods of research and co-creation. Her projects unfold as rehearsals for an alternative historiography, thinking alongside fellow artists, researchers and non-traditional performers to examine our relationships to the past while simultaneously foregrounding the creation of new mythologies and fictions rooted in the Caribbean. Presented as multi-channel video installations, short and long-form experimental films, and live theatrical performances, her work has been presented extensively in venues, festivals and theaters internationally.

In 2026, she will participate in the 61 International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Other exhibitions include the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum (New York), Amant (New York), RedCat (Los Angeles), 22a SescVideoBrasil Biennial (São Paulo), National Portrait Gallery (Washington, D.C.), Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, Blackstar Film Festival (Philadelphia), Images Festival (Toronto) and Seoul Museum of Art (Korea). Natalia has been an artist fellow at the Smithsonian Institute, and participated in residencies at Headlands Center for the Arts (CA), Amant (NY), Pioneer Works (NY), MassMoca (Massachusetts) and Fonderie Darling (Montréal). She has taught film and theater at Maryland Institute of the Art, CalArts and Bard Microcollege, and facilitates workshops and knowledge exchanges as a way to socialize her artistic practice. She developed her practice nomadically, but she is currently based in Puerto Rico, where she was born.
