As one of the recipients of the Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement of the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Cecilia Vicuña has finally aroused the mainstream’s spotlight after being marginalized for almost five decades. As a pioneering artist of Anti-Western Centrism and ecofeminism, she engages themes of language and memory, paying particular attention to decay and exile, encompassing South American indigenous cultural elements and profound concerns about ecology. Vicuña’s artworks are indelibly inspired by her turbulent experience and sublime the zeitgeist by depicting individual stories.
