Luis Berríos-Negrón is the UmArts Research Fellow in Architecture and Art, in partnership with Bildmuseet and Umeå School of Architecture (UMA), 2023-2024. Luis’s research and practice unarchives the greenhouse as a support structure to colonial memory. During his fellowship Luis is investigating contrasting perspectives on tree nurseries in Scandinavia and the Caribbean offering a transhemispheric analysis that rethinks reforestation and biodiversity beyond colonial framings. In September 2023 Luis was appointed as Associate Professor in Architecture.
