LORETO VALENZUELA


[Trazando la inestabilidad entre movimiento, materia y memoria.]













A body of work , is a body of  workings in a state of becoming.






























































Coming up 2026 Workshops ︎︎︎

Inspired by artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Andrés Pérez, these events reimagined the “party” as a space for shared authorship and reflection. Projec like Birthday P[art]Y and La Mesa invited participants to exchange objects, stories, and roles, generating temporary communities of empathy and invention. Each occasion became a living artwork — a celebration of togetherness and the subtle politics of how we narrate ourselves.

Community engagement is central to my practice, often taking the form of Performing Parties — participatory events that blur boundaries between performance, ritual, and play. Initiated in Cambridge, these gatherings transformed private and public spaces into sites of co-creation, where participants explored identity, memory, and collective imagination through storytelling, drawing, and improvisation.


 




CAMBRIDGE DRAWS ITSELF .
Wolfson College, Cambridge University, April 9 2011. 'There is a time for drawing, it's different from talking, no individuated authorship no expectation of skills, just lines coming together!' A collaboration with Sarah Butterfield and Minimal Sound System.

Despite navigating one of the most challenging periorsds of my life, I am proudly greatful to embrace art both as a refuge and a force of transformation.

This residency marks a deeply personal chapter - an exploration of resilience, where performance, movement, and sculptural forms become a vessel for healing and renewal, this new periord seeks to embody the tension

between fragility and strenght, creating work that with the complexities of being human. Art, in its purest form, is my way of finding equilibrium amid chaos.
