Josefina holds a Master’s degree from the Institute Art Gender Nature (IAGN) in Basel. She is a visual artist and educator whose practice investigates architectures of crisis and post-natural landscapes. Her work explores the affective and ideological dimensions of space, imagining alternative geographies where the organic and the artificial intertwine in the construction of reality.
With a particular focus on the urban, she seeks to displace the centrality of the human gaze -and its hierarchies- in order to think through new configurations between territory, objects, and materialities. Her process incorporates speculative exercises through writing, drawing, and filmmaking, which take form as sculptures and installations.
Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions, including a recent solo exhibition at Proyecto Amil (PE), as well as a group exhibition at Kunsthaus Baselland (CH), and her selection as a finalist for the ICPNA Contemporary Art Prize 2024 (PE), among others. She has participated in residencies such as Haciendo Contexto at Proyecto Amil (PE), Paraply at the Royal Danish Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen (DK), and Bohemia Farm Studio in Prague (CZ).
As the founder of Ekumen, an independent contemporary art platform in Lima, she extends her practice into collective work and the creation of local networks of care and collaboration.
