Congratulations to Sara Flores on representing Peru at the 61st International Venice Biennale.
For the first time in its history, Peru is represented by an Indigenous artist: Sara Flores (Tambo Mayo, Peru, 1950), from the Shipibo-Konibo people of the Peruvian Amazon. The Pavilion of Peru presents Sara Flores: From Other Worlds, a solo exhibition dedicated to the artist.
Rooted in Kené, the ancestral visual language of the Shipibo-Konibo, Sara’s practice articulates a system of relationships that extends beyond the human, encompassing plants, animals, land and spirit.
Across the pavilion, painting, sculpture and film unfold as interconnected structures, inviting a sensory and introspective encounter with a worldview grounded in reciprocity and interconnection.
The exhibition has already been celebrated by The New York Times and ARTnews as one of the national pavilions not to be missed.
