Natalia Martinez Sagan is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans on and off stage. She has had art and ‘reduce, reuse & recycle’ engraved in her heart since early childhood; when not crafting or dancing, she could be found out in the garden collecting flowers or composting. Invested in environmental activism since then, at age 12 she was distinguished as ‘Councilmember for a Day’ by her hometown’s city council, due to a project she wrote addressing the lack of waste management in the area.

Natalia’s profound passion for Planet Earth and the arts led her to merge both worlds, and for over a decade now she has been working as a producer, art director, designer + maker, stylist and advisor specialized in the application of sustainable practices within the creative industries, with vast experience in theater, photography, interior design, and events.

Devoted to promote environmental awareness through creative reuse, Natalia has been an advisor to the award winning charity Fashion Revolution, the New York City Department of Sanitation, Donate NYC, and many companies, as well as independent creatives, in the US, Europe, and Latin America.

As a speaker, she has been invited to join panels at the United Nations, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, the Delegation of the European Union at the UN, and Universidad de Palermo, among others.

Natalia’s work has been part of exhibitions and installations at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Urban Zen Foundation by Donna Karan, Brooklyn Art House, Metropolitan Pavilion, NYC x Reuse, Trash Art Center Buenos Aires, and others.

Trained as a Climate Reality Leader by former US Vice-president Al Gore, Natalia holds a certification in Sustainability Business Management from University of Cambridge (UK), and a diploma in Ecofeminism from Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina).

A professionally trained musical theater performer and Argentine folklore dancer herself, Natalia has been part of productions such as Chicago and Grease, having also participated – as a singer, dancer and actress – in projects such as the worldwide initiative ‘Climate Change Theater Action’.
