Naomi Gamarra

Naomi Gamarra (Ginebra, 1999) is an artist of Bolivian and Peruvian descent. Her work explores the transmission of cultural heritage and the issues related to her personal experience of migration, intra- family and collective memory. By examining the historical questions related to colonization in these two regions of Latin America, Gamarra takes interest in the objects, symbols, myths, or syncretic representations that emerge from this cultural and political clash. Her work focuses on the re-interpretation, telling the story of the journey between identity, cultural hybridization, and power struggles between the traditional and the modern at the heart of a capitalist globalized world.
