CV
Imayna Caceres (Callao, Peru) is MA. in Fine Arts, MA. in Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaft in the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and a graduate of Sociology in the PUCP University of Peru and of Communications Sciences in the University of Lima. She works through/with drawings, installations, projects in public space, paintings, on issues such as forms of knowledge different to Western knowledge, teachings of plants, earth beings’ subjectivities, cosmovisions of interexistance, rituals, reflecting our political relationality to other modes of existing in the world and the paths art could open in our need to confront current social and ecological challenges. Her projects have related to Andean/Amazonian heritages and practices of regeneration and joy, communal aesthetics, reverberations of the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, anticolonial fantasies in the etnographic museum, and in the art academy, and critical perspectives on issues such as colonialism and migration. Her work leans towards art as a communal and collective process and she is part of the Trenza collective based in Vienna.
