Sol Marinucci is a textile designer, illustrator, creative and editorial director, curator, and intercultural cultural practitioner. 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 long-term learning encounters with master artisans across Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Chile, and Ecuador.
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 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 and process-based collaboration, creative and editorial direction, the revitalisation of ancestral craft techniques for new generations, and the creation of spaces where cultural heritage, collective imaginaries, and environmental reflection converge.
