BIO
Sujetka is a queer multidisciplinary artist, born in Lima, Perú, in 1996, and currently based in New York City. She began her art studies in 2014 at the Pontificia Universidad Católica and continued at the Institute of Contemporary Visual Arts, Corriente Alterna until December 2019. At Peru, she participated in several exhibitions at recognized institutions such as the Instituto Cultural Peruano Norteamericano, Centro Cultural Embajada de Brazil, Ginsberg Gallery, and more. She was also selected as a finalist in the National Contemporary Art Contest 2020.
​
In December 2021, she relocated to New York to further develop her artistic practice. By mid-2023, she had joined the Argentina Performance Art Archive platform team, collaborating with renowned artists and organizing successful South American performance art events in the city.
​
During this year, her work was showcased in several exhibitions, including the New York Latin America Triennial at Governors Island, Longwood Art Gallery, and the AUSTRAL Performance Art Festival curated by Hector Canonge.
STATEMENT
Sujetka's artistic practice focuses on the body's experience of language and the development of normalized abusive behaviors. Motivated by social change, she delves into the dynamics of power, the 'gaze,' and the body's perception within repressive structures. Immersing herself in the mediums of performance and installation, she creates spaces of tension. These concepts and human reactions are examined.
​
Dedicating her investigation to exploring matters concerning the mistreatment of women, children, and the service industry, she focuses on challenging normalized behaviors. Extending an invitation to the 'other' to contemplate their position in the social world and their complicity in everyday situations is at the center of her work.
