​

I'm Andrea (Lima, 1986), a mom, artist and researcher. My artistic practice involves facilitating critical public spaces where we can experiment with collective forms of organizing and instituting through art making: from sharing stories, reading, mapping, drawing and archiving, as spaces of listening, togetherness and resisting. In words of Marina Garces: 'discovering that one is engaged is to interrupt the sense of the world'. 

I am moved by research spaces from the body, situated knowledge and the liberatory potential of art-based learning. In this sense, I identify more with work and collective organisation spaces than working in traditional exhibition formats. My individual artistic practice involves drawing, printing, and harvesting, sometimes these processes are made public in the shape of talks, workshops, installations, actions or texts. I am very interested in maintaining coherence between my work as an artist and what I practice in my daily life: intersectional feminism, anti-racism, anti-fatphobia, social justice, multivocality, inclusion of children in art and activism spaces, as well as the search for non-extractive ways of creating, permeate my work and the collaborations I choose to take part in.

I live in Amsterdam and do art and research projects in the Netherlands and Peru. I am part of various art and activism collectives in both countries: Feministas en Holanda, Grond, Imaginart, Red de Arte Educadoras del Peru, Contemporaneas, Association of Curators of Peru, among others. I work closely with institutions such as the Rijksakademie, Framer Framed, the University of Amsterdam and the PUCP university in Lima.
