Hello! I'm Andrea (Lima, 1986), a mom and an artist educator. I research, facilitate, and make art, mainly through collaborations with other artists, collectives or cultural institutions. I am interested in experimenting with alternative forms of organising and instituting from collective art practices: drawing, mapping, reading and sharing stories as places of listening and solidarity. I am moved by research spaces from the body, situated learning and the pedagogical possibilities of public space. 
 
I identify more with work and collective organisation than exhibiting or showing something like 'my' work. What I do individually are drawings and notes in my journal that sometimes grow in scale and time to become something else (an engraving, workshop, action, or text). My creation is messy and small and comes from my body, experiences, time and shared spaces. 
 
I live in Amsterdam and do art and research projects in the Netherlands and Peru. My work as a public program coordinator at the Rijksakademie, my paid internships at the university, freelance art and research projects, and the support of my family are what sustains me economically, without depending on the art market. I am part of various art and activism collectives in both countries: Feminists in the Netherlands, warm, We Sell Reality, Imaginart, Red de Arte Educadoras del Peru, Association of Curators of Peru, and Fundación Hope Peru, among others. I am very interested in maintaining coherence between my work as an artist and what I practice in my daily life: feminism, anti-racism and social justice, as well as the search for non-extractivist ways of creating, run through my work and the collaborations in which I decide to be part of.
