Imayna Caceres
13th Liverpool Biennial, UK
7 June – 14 September 2025
The Liverpool Biennial was founded in 1998 and is the largest event for contemporary art in the United Kingdom. The 2025 edition will be dedicated to the notion of ‘bedrock’, in terms of both the city's physical and material geological formation, and as a metaphor for the strong civic values of Liverpool as well as the people and places that ground them. In collaboration with fellow artists and local organizations, Imayna Caceres will produce a new work using clay from the bed of the River Mersey which runs through the city and lead a series of workshops.
Imayna Caceres (born 1979) is a Peruvian artist who lives and works in Vienna. She studied Sociology at the PUCP University of Peru, Communication Sciences at the University of Lima, and Art and Cultural Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She is a member of the women's collective Feministisches Bloco Decolonial in Vienna, which focuses on feminist ecopolitical matters. Her work is based on research about social exosystems, and the idea of belonging and caring for one another. Caceres seeks to reduce feelings of powerlessness brought on by issues such as environment disaster, anti-migration populism, and war. Her work has been presented at La Virreina, Barcelona; Klima Biennale, Vienna; Rudolf-Scharpf-Galerie, Ludwigshafen and rotor Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Graz, among others.
This is her first collaboration with Phileas.
