Jamie Denburg Habie is a Guatemalan artist and cultural practitioner living and working in Antigua, Guatemala. Motivated by the belief that consciousness exists in all things, her work challenges dualistic perceptions of reality, which she believes cause violence towards the self, others and the Earth. Drawing from neuroscience, the study of materials, meditation, somatic practices and political ecologies, Jamie’s works often reveal unexpected relationships between diverse bodies—human, material, animal, and celestial—in order to decentralize consciousness and imagine spaces of healing and embodiment. A graduate of Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University (2010-2014), Jamie has an interdisciplinary background in art and politics.

Jamie is Co-founder and former Director at La Nueva Fábrica, a non-profit contemporary art space and residency program dedicated to empowering communities through art. It does so through exhibitions, public programs, educational projects, residencies, and multidisciplinary activities in its space in Antigua, Guatemala, and internationally through institutional partnerships. Recent exhibitions include Margarita Azurdia: A Universe, Documented, curated by Rossina Cazali (2023-2024); the XXIII Bienal de Arte Paiz (2023); Hellen Ascoli: Cien Terras, curated by Amara Antilla and traveling from the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati (2022-2023); and Regina José Galindo’s first institutional survey in the Americas, Grito, curated by Maya Juracán (2022).
