Songlines traces the arc of the last ten years of the artists practice with attention to its material structure and the conceptual underpinnings. Working at a large-scale, in a process she describes as “painting with paper,” Berrío builds scenes out of meticulously cut and torn papers that blend myth and folklore with the contemporary world. At a time when we are losing the stories which once gave our lives meaning, Berrío embraces multiple storylines, inspired by personal and shared mythologies drawn from across time and geography, from the Colombian countryside of the artist’s birth, to Greek mythology, the contemporary immigration crisis, a changing climate, and others. These many references coalesce into vibrant, poetic folktales opening onto new worlds.

Published on the occasion of a nationally touring exhibition, Songlines includes texts by Berrío, Katherine Brodbeck, co-curators Lauren Schell Dickens and Leslie Ureña, and an interview with the artist by Valéria Piccoli, alongside copious illustrations and details of Berrio's worldbuilding work.
