Rebekah Villacorta is a multidisciplinary Salvadoran American artist born in Los Angeles. They studied art at the University of California Irvine with a focus in new genres, writing, video, sound, performance, and photography. They work out of Chicago and Los Angeles. They are in pursuit of a Masters in Visual and Critical Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Villacorta’s practice manifests as installation, text, sculpture, photo, painting, and weaving as a method to critique the use of unifying languages in post-humanist Western dialogues. Most recently, Villacorta’s practice has focused on the role of narration, timing, and ‘epigenetic archiving’ by activating domestic ephemera and Salvadoran oral histories by engaging autistic emotional memory as sculpture.
