María José Murillo
(Arequipa, Peru, 1989) Textile artist. She discovered the ancestral language of Andean weaving while studying for her MFA in Fiber at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Through textiles, she embarked on a path of reclaiming and searching for her indigenous cultural heritage, which had been left out in the Eurocentric education she received as an art student in Peru. She is a member of the Andean art collective Noqanchis.
