Inés Cardó is a Peruvian/Spanish artist based in London. Her work explores the colonial legacy of the Global North in Latin America, and how bodies become archives to these experiences of struggle and resistance. Currently, she is researching the history of extractivism in the continent through the lens of what she calls ‘embodied extractivism’. She understands the extraction of natural resources as a continuum with the extraction of knowledges, cultural artefacts, and bodies through migration. Through these connections, her practice enquires how economic and cultural values are created and ascribed.
