About the artist
Gina Proenza (*1994 in Bogotá, Colombia) lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland. In her work, Proenza weaves micro and macro histories together like a collection, crafting narratives between distant geographical locations and desynchronised stories to explore some collective memories. With the conviction that whispered dialogues, unseen correspondences or mixed heritages can revolutionise outlooks and points of view, she produces sculptures which could be historical documents or tales. Playing with the use of words, she questions the relations of power tied to language and its modes of knowledge.
Recent solo exhibitions include Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne (2024), Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen (2023), Centre d’art Neuchâtel (2020), and Centre Culturel Suisse in Paris (2018). Gina Proenza is the recipient of the Prix Manor Vaud 2024.
