Natalie Blom
Natalie is an architect, artist, and researcher based in Stockholm. Her work addresses contemporary socio-ecological challenges by examining concepts of co-existence and ”messy togetherness.” She is interested in design strategies that foster care and intimacy with local ecologies, extending these principles to strengthen human relationships.

She is a co-founder of Garden Loops, an international collective of architects and artists operating between Gothenburg and Stockholm. The collective’s practice investigates local ecologies and food systems through a more-than-human perspective. Garden Loops employs workshops as a platform for open, shared learning, aiming to establish collaborative networks and promote interdisciplinary dialogue.

Natalie holds a postmaster from the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm, where she participated in the program Of Public Interest (OPI) Lab 2023-2024.

02 (em)Bodied Animal Devices

Natalie Blom and Federico Godino have been collaborating in their attempts to shift perspective – or depict an imagined shift in perspective – from human focus to a beyond-human focus. Looking at the species resident in Lövholmen and Gröndal, their starting point was to consider what “devices” could destabilize our human gaze. They create animal sculptures which become playful symbols for the (im)possibility of seeing the world through the eyes of other species.
