Berenike Corcuera (1994, Lima, Peru) is a German-Peruvian visual artist whose work is as grounded in the rich textiles heritage of handcraft techniques such as embroidery and appliqué, as it is in contemporary explorations of diasporic narratives, consciousness and identity.
Her exhibitions across Europe and internationally have positioned her as a voice attuned to textile’s capacity for both intimacy and collectivity, often framing the act of handcrafting itself as a ritual of presence and encounter. She explores questions of belonging, spiritual inheritance and resistance and the politics of material. Her large-scale textile works function as meditations on land, identity and transgenerational memory. She draws from cosmologies of her Andean-Amazonian roots and her third culture upbringing as well as decolonial practices. Through fiber, she engages with material as both a sacred, meditative medium and a political tool. Berenike has presented solo exhibitions at Brigade Gallery Copenhagen (DK) and Zinnema (BE) and has participated in institutional group shows at Centrale for Contemporary Art Brussels (BE), Market Art Fair Stockholm (SE), Van der Plas Gallery New York City (USA) and La Manufacture Museum of Textile Memory & Creation (FR).
