Who is Teresa Burga?
Teresa Burga is a multimedia artist whose conceptualist pieces from the 1960s and 1970s position her as a precursor in the arts. Burga was part of Grupo Arte Nuevo along with Luis Arias Vera, Gloria Gómez-Sánchez, Teresa Burga, Jaime Dávila, Víctor Delfín, Emilio Hernández Saavedra, José Tang, Armando Varela y Luis Zevallos Hetzel. Her most iconic work is the project Perfil de la mujer peruana, created with psychologist Marie-France Cathelat during 1980-1981. The project was originally presented in 1981 during the I Coloquio de Arte No-Objetual y Arte Urbano at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Medellín, Colombia; months later it was shown in an exhibition at the Banco Continental in Lima, Peru; by the end of that same year, the full investigation came together as a published book. The recovery of this project seeks to revisit a reflective process encouraged by an artistic proposal–one that analyzes the status of women from their affective, psychological, sexual, social, educational, cultural, linguistic, religious, professional, economic, political and legal aspects–that took part of second-wave feminism in Latin America.
