The Lima Art Museum (Museo de Arte de Lima) presents "Profile of a Peruvian Woman. Event in memory of Teresa Burga”.
Teresa Burga (Iquitos, 1935 - Lima, 2021), was a pioneer artist in Latin American conceptualism and one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Peruvian art. Since the 1960’s, Burga has produced a complex body of work that ranges from drawings, paintings, and sculptures, multimedia installations and experimental projects. This 16th and 21st of June we invite you to two virtual talks with the participation of recognised national and international specialists, who will promote a reflection on the legacy of this unique artist who passed away this past February, and thus continue to disseminate her work.
