Ximena Garrido-Lecca

In May 2025, artist Ximena Garrido-Lecca will present a new large-scale project at the Renaissance Society, continuing her explorations of how human activity meets the natural world across various points in time. Originating in extensive research and culminating in material sculptures or installations, her work foregrounds indigenous knowledge systems and artisanal traditions along with modern technological infrastructures. Grounded in the specific history of Peru, where she was born, or other areas of Latin America, from precolonial societies through to the present, her work also tracks how extractive industry and related economic paradigms have taken on increasingly global dimensions.
