Renata Petersen
Visual Arts Residency

Renata Petersen's practice explores religious and social themes, infused with a sharp sense of dark humor. Through vignettes that closely engage with comics and caricature, her work moves between satirical reinterpretations and explorations of phenomena with deep resonance in popular culture. Petersen addresses topics such as cults, urban legends, gender roles, contemporary sexuality, and the subjectivity inherent in the concept of "bad taste."

‍She holds a degree in Visual Arts from La Esmeralda. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, the Colección Yuyito, and the Omnilife Collection. It has also been exhibited at the Museo Tamayo, MAZ, the Hammer Museum, Dallas Contemporary, and Oklahoma Contemporary Museum.

This residency is organized in partnership with Cerámica Suro.
