Cecilia Vicuña

Artist-poet Cecilia Vicuña creates songs, performances, installations, paintings, films, written works, books, lectures, and sculptures. Vicuña’s work is always attentive to ethics, the earth, and history. Her object making includes Precarios  —precarious works composed of fragile materials — and  Quipus — dyed wool and fibres inspired by the Andean record-keeping system of knotted cords. Her improvisatory, participatory performances emphasize the collective nature of action and creativity to bring forth justice, balance and transformation of the world.
