Carla Blanca Corminboeuf

Biography

Her practice explores questions of memory, identity, and cultural transmission, examining how personal and collective identities are embodied, carried, and reshaped over time. Having grown up immersed in Andean culture through traditional Peruvian dance, she has developed a keen awareness of how heritage is experienced, performed, and passed on. Her creative process brings together image, sound, movement, and spatial elements to create new personal narratives and visual translations of thoughts, memories, and emotions. Her master’s research focuses on “Llaky”, a Quechua word used to describe an emotional state, a form of melancholy unique to the Andean region. Building on this concept, she explores contemporary forms of collective memory and cultural identity, as well as broader regional issues, such as social structures inherited from colonization.
