Rebekah Villacorta is a multidisciplinary Salvadoran American artist born in Los Angeles. Villacorta studied art at the University of California Irvine with a focus in new genres and writing. She currently works out of Los Angeles. She recently earned a Masters of Art 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 engaging autistic emotional memory, domestic ephemera, and Salvadoran oral histories as sculpture.
