Jamie Denburg Habie is a Guatemalan artist and cultural practitioner based in Antigua, Guatemala. Her work explores unexpected relationships between human, mineral, animal, and celestial bodies to challenge human-centric narratives and emphasize synergies between systems. Often interactive, her art draws from neuroscience, material studies, meditation, somatic practices, and political ecologies to create spaces of empathy and connection through embodiment.
A graduate of Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University, Jamie has an interdisciplinary background in art and politics. Jamie co-founded and formerly directed La Nueva Fábrica (est. 2013), a non-profit contemporary art space in Antigua, Guatemala dedicated to empowering diverse communities through exhibitions, education, residencies, and global partnerships.
