Q’ONOY – THE NIGHT OF FIREexhibition openingPhotographs by Pilar Pedraza

In her creative work, she places an emphasis on the use of artisanal photographic techniques. Since 2011, she has been leading the ‘Verte–MirArte’ participatory photography project, which has been recognised by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture with the ‘Punto de Cultura’ designation. She has shared the programme’s experiences and methodology through lectures and workshops held at Peruvian universities and schools, as well as in Spain, Chile, Argentina and Colombia. She has taken part in numerous group exhibitions, whilst her solo exhibitions have been shown not only in Peru but also in Mexico, Colombia, Austria, the United States, Argentina, France and Chile.

For over a decade, she has been documenting the Virgen del Carmen festival held in Paucartambó. Her photographic series on the festival was exhibited at the Museum of Cultures in Paucartambó (Cusco) in 2016 and 2019, during the July celebrations. Her exhibition, which pays tribute to this significant cultural tradition, has now been staged four times in Lima. The exhibition on display at the Dubniczay Palace is organised with the support of the Peruvian Embassy.

This project has been awarded the Bicentennial of Photography label by the French Ministry of Culture and is part of the official programme of the Bicentennial from September 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.
