Voluspa Jarpa

Voluspa Jarpa (Rancagua, Chile, 1971) examines political, historical, and social documents from Chile and Latin America to reflect on memory and cultural trauma. Her work offers a nuanced critique of history. She received the Illy Sustain Art Prize (2012) at ARCO Madrid, the Julius Baer Art Prize for Latin American Female Artists (2020), the Premio Adquisición at the 32nd Bienal de Cuenca (2023), and the CIFO Career Award (2024). Her works are held in major collections such as the MALBA (Buenos Aires), Kadist Foundation (San Francisco), Blanton Museum of Art (Austin), and Inhotim (Brazil). Jarpa has participated in notable exhibitions, including The Arcades: Contemporary Art and Walter Benjamin (Jewish Museum, New York, 2017), the Bienal do Mercosul (2011, 2015), the Istanbul Biennial (2011), the São Paulo Biennial (2014), and the Venice Biennale (2019), where she represented Chile with Altered Views.
