Ingrid Pumayalla

Ingrid Pumayalla (b. 1989, Trujillo, Peru) is a Peruvian visual artist and performer based in London. Her work explores memory, ancestral knowledge, and the role of women in cultural transmission through film, performance, and site-specific rituals. Rooted in Andean cosmology, her practice interweaves oral history, textile traditions, and healing gestures to address themes of displacement, colonial trauma, and ecological loss. She holds an MA in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins and has exhibited internationally, with recent presentations at the Museum of San Marcos (Lima),  the Bienal de La Habana, Cuba and IESA (Paris). Her current research focuses on the politics of food, territory, and storytelling as acts of resistance.
