Kukuli Velarde: CORPUS

The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) is proud to host CORPUS, an exhibition of ceramics and fabric works by Peruvian American artist Kukuli Velarde. CORPUS is comprised of ceramic and fabric works that encourage reflection on the meaning of survival in the face of colonialism. Fifteen ceramic sculptures, each with matching tapestries, will be presented in a symbolic representation of the annual Corpus Christi festival in Cusco, Perú. The sculptures reference indigenous pre-Columbian forms and iconographies in a visual representation of syncretic aesthetic, cultural, and religious traditions.
