Bienal de Pontevedra

In this new encounter of the series, the Peruvian artist Violeta Quispe Yupari talks with the Biennial's curatorial assistant, Agar Ledo, about her career and the role of art as a tool for resistance and visibility.

Daughter of a migrant family from Sarhua (Ayacucho), displaced by the armed conflict in Peru, Violeta has turned her experience into a source of political and sensitive creation. Her work addresses gender violence and discrimination against indigenous women and LGTBIQ+ people, thus making visible what is often silenced.

A conversation to pause, listen and think collectively about new forms of relationship between art, words and the world we live in.
