Learning from Plants, Rocks and Water: Counter-Narratives from Earthlings Amidst Multiple Crises

A still of my video Offering’s apprentice II used for the poster of our show!

The exhibition Learning from Plants, Rocks and Waters: Counter-Narratives from Earthlings Amid Multiple Crises was inaugurated on Tuesday the 4th at SOHO studios. The show features works of the Peruvian artists Imayna Cáceres, Alfredo Ledesma, Hansel Sato and me and will be on until October 23. Check out the program full of diverse activities!

«The exhibition is the result of a collective experiment, an ongoing collaboration between four artists with similar artistic approaches and a common interest in promoting plural ecological values ​​of coexistence with other beings on earth.

As Peruvian artists living in Vienna, they accompany each other in their migration processes and together imagine stories that could make a world possible in which borders and hierarchies between people, but also between people and nature, have been overcome. The artistic production refers to old mestizo and indigenous practices from the Amazon and Andean regions. In these cultural spaces, people are viewed as an integral part of the natural fabric.»

We are having great press coverage, as shows this article, this article, and the beautiful images taken by Joanna Pianka for Esel.

«Carmen I» en Hilos que resisten, hilos que subvierten

Muy contenta de exponer parte de la serie «Carmen», basada en poemas de Carmen Ollé, en la bella exposición curada por Gabriela Germaná en el Centro Cultural del Británico, Lima. En sus palabras:
«A través de esta exposición, se presentarán vestimentas y piezas bidimensionales realizadas con hilos, pero también instalaciones, performances y videos que dan cuenta de los textiles como objetos en constante transformación, en estrecho vínculo con el cuerpo. Son alrededor de 46 piezas de diversos artistas que refieren a actos de afirmación identitaria y resistencia; identidades cambiantes e híbridas, producto de la movilidad; piezas que hablan del valor de los textiles como vehículo político y de protesta; y piezas que reflexionan sobre identidades individuales atravesadas por cuestiones de raza, género y pertenencia.
