About the speaker

GRIMANESA AMORÓS is a Peruvian-born American multimedia creative whose work explores community connections intersecting history, technology, and architecture. Her keen understanding of structure enables her to create monumental sculptures incorporating lighting and custom made electronic components to create immersive environments and connect the viewer to their surroundings. Technology compliments the concepts of her work without defining it—a medium of expression. She derives inspiration from cultural legacies, with a central theme revolving around the concept of time. Amorós's artwork challenge individual understanding of time, capturing a moment where viewers engage in the pursuit of questioning and challenging their initial grasp of the piece's conceptual formation.

Invited as a keynote speaker at museums, foundations, and universities, Amorós empowers young professionals across various disciplines, attracting future artists, students, and faculty in visual arts, architecture, and technology. Amorós has showcased her work extensively in the United States, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. She was a featured speaker at TED Global, a recipient of NEA Visual Arts Grants Fellowships, and is distinguished as part of the 'Art In Embassies Program of the U.S.' and a Civita Institute NE Chapter Fellowship Grant holder. Her art has graced the walls of numerous prestigious museums, including the Ludwig Museum, CAFA Museum, Katonah Museum, and Seoul National University Museum of Art.
