Teresa Borasino

artist

Teresa Borasino is an artist whose work balances upon the fertile edges between art and activism—the space between poetics, politics, and radical engagement with social movements. Her practice spans a variety of mediums, encompassing public interventions, performances, installations, soundscapes, and textual expressions. She seeks to contribute to the pluriversing of the world by cultivating a deeper understanding of the ecological and sacred entanglements experienced by oppressed and exiled communities. Simultaneously, she aims to challenge the monolithic narrative imposed by the paradigms of modernity and coloniality.

In 2021, Borasino embarked on artistic research into the Andean cosmovision and its tapestry of ancestral knowledge and practices. Throughout the BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice, she will further delve into this research, concentrating on the intricate correlation between cultural and ecological devastation.

Selected exhibitions include:
