Fátima Rodrigo
Fátima Rodrigo (b. 1987, Lima, Peru) lives and works in Lima. She studied visual arts at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima.
Through installations, drawings, and textiles, her work explores the representation of modernism and gender identity in Latin America, analysing devices such as architecture, modern art, and popular culture. Her work problematizes the power structures that in a post-colonial context continue to organize the world in hierarchical binaries. Taking elements from vernacular celebrations and the world of spectacle — glitter, sequins, and beads — Rodrigo has developed a language that questions the regimes of power naturalized by artistic modernity. Her latest projects reflect on the exclusion of non-Western artistic manifestations from the global contemporary art scene, as a consequence of the discourse of official history that separates traditional from avant-garde artistic expressions.
