Mercedes Azpilicueta

Mercedes Azpilicueta (Argentina, 1981) is a visual and performance artist from La Plata who lives and works in Amsterdam. In her work, she links decolonial feminist, sometimes speculative, histories with contemporary popular culture. She depicts these histories in performances and installations that combine garments and tapestries with vocal arrangements. She uses both 'outdated’ crafts and contemporary industrialised techniques.
