Sol Marinucci is a textile designer, cultural manager and curator. She promotes and coordinates collaborative practices and exchanges between craft and design practitioners, with strong roots in Latin America. Her training includes a BA in Textile Design at the University of Buenos Aires, studies at Central Saint Martins, and a Diploma in Anthropology of Art (Mexico), as well as learning encounters with master artisans across Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Chile and Ecuador.
Within the British Council’s global programme Crafting Futures, she coordinated research for the publication Artisans' Voices: Dialogues for Sustainable Practices, bringing together experiences from Argentina, Bolivia and South Asia. She also co-founded League of Artisans, an international platform fostering dialogues on craft and sustainability, where she developed Climate Resilience: An Artisan Toolkit for Recovery, Regeneration and Renewal in collaboration with partners in the Philippines. For more than a decade (2006–2019), she was part of the organisation of the largest Design Festival in Latin America, TRImarchi, as curator and Head of International Relations.
Her recent projects include ILLATURAS, an itinerant research, exhibition and living archive that explores the symbolic power of miniatures in Andean culture. In 2025 she is curating "What the Fibres Remember" for Material World, a programme by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK), in the framework of League of Artisans, and presenting her work in international contexts such as XTANT (Mallorca), Paisanaje (Madrid), Germany, Zurich and Portugal.
Her expertise lies in ethical collaborative practices, revitalising ancestral craft techniques for new generations, and creating spaces where cultural heritage, collective imaginaries and environmental reflection converge.
