Abstract
Picturing Paradise:
Cuadros by the Peruvian Women of the Pamplona Alta
Cuadros are embroidered and appliquéd fabric pictures created by women of Compacto Humano and Manos Ancashinas, two art cooperatives located in Pamplona Alta, a shantytown situated on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. This project, which in part, evolved into an exhibition, features the work of these women, placing emphasis on them as artists and the way their art reflects creativity, resilience, and hope despite the harsh conditions of their lives.
Picturing Paradise has been exhibited in over 30 museums and university galleries throughout the United States, tin Spain, Bolivia and twice in Peru. For more details and information, contact Rebecca Berru Davis rmberrudavis798@stkate.edu.
