Sol Marinucci is a textile designer, illustrator, creative and editorial director, curator, and intercultural practitioner. She develops and facilitates collaborative practices and exchanges between craft and design, with strong roots in Latin America.
Her training includes a BA in Textile Design from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), studies at Central Saint Martins, and a Diploma in Anthropology of Art (Mexico), as well as long-term learning experiences alongside master artisans across Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and India.
Within the British Council’s global programme Crafting Futures, she coordinated research and editorial development 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, where she led creative direction and content development for projects such as 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 work unfolds through ILLATURAS, an itinerant research, exhibition and living archive that explores the symbolic power of miniatures in Andean culture. In 2025, she curated "What the Fibres Remember" for Material World, a programme by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK), and presented her work internationally at XTANT (Mallorca), Paisanaje (Madrid), as well as in the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal.
Her practice focuses on ethical and process-based collaboration, creative and editorial direction, and the revitalisation of ancestral craft techniques through contemporary, situated approaches. She creates spaces where cultural heritage, collective imaginaries, and environmental reflection converge.
