William Cordova

William Cordova’s sculptures, installations and works on paper are very much bound up with his transcultural biography that took him from Lima, Peru, where he was born (1971), via Miami, Florida, to the many other places where he has lived or spent time in the US and Europe. His subjets are drawn from a continuum of radical movements and players in struggles for self-determination. “Revealing the intersections between magical realism and social realism, he orchestrates collisions between ancient and recent histories, oral tradition and revolutionary texts to make way for an in- between, transitional, and ultimately transformative space.” (Rashida Bumbray).
