Kukuli Velarde is a Peruvian-American artist based in Philadelphia. Her work, which revolves around the consequences of colonization in Latin American contemporary culture, is a visual investigation about aesthetics, cultural survival, and inheritance.
Kukuli borrows from pre-Columbian ceramic and textile traditions to create clay figures and paintings that confront topics such as gender, identity, and socio-political concerns, especially in Peru.
