Majo Arenas (Bolivian b 1999) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of fashion, performance, and textile-based installation.

Initially trained in fashion design (HTW, Berlin), her work has gradually expanded beyond the garment, evolving into immersive environments where material, body, and narrative converge. What begins as clothing often dissolves into something more fluid—objects, images, and staged moments that resist fixed categorization.

Rooted in a transnational identity between Bolivia and Berlin, Majo draws from personal and inherited histories, weaving them into speculative visual languages. Her work navigates dualities: intimacy and distance, softness and violence, romanticism and horror. These tensions are not resolved but held in suspension, allowing contradiction to become a generative force.

Textiles play a central role in her process, functioning both as medium and memory. Recycled fabrics, familiar garments, and hand-worked surfaces are transformed through layering, embroidery, and deconstruction.

These materials carry emotional residue, traces of touch, time, and lineage….becoming vessels through which nostalgia is not only represented but physically embedded.
