Donna Huanca’s practice stands out for its understanding of the body, and of the skin in particular, as a territory where surface and matter converse with architecture, space, and the world. The artist questions systems of knowledge such as biology, ecology, geology, or anthropology through paintings, sculptures, and performances.
