Visual artista and educator
Pierina Masquez
Visual artist and educator, based in Lima, Peru. Her practice explores the relationships between the body, desire, and collective organization, shaped by internal migration, working-class memory, and domestic labor. Working across soft sculpture, ceramics, drawing, and expanded painting, she develops spatial dispositifs that activate intimacy as a political field, articulating situated feminism and speculative imagination from a transfeminist and class-based perspective.
Her solo exhibitions include Sindicato de mujeres invisibles (ICPNA, 2025) and Hay algo que necesita ocultarse para que otros puedan existir (Crisis Galería, 2023). She has participated in group exhibitions in Lima, Berlin, Paris, and Mexico City. In 2025, she was selected for the Gasworks residency in London.
