Rebekah Villacorta


Master of Arts in Visual and Critical Studies

Rebekah Villacorta is a multidisciplinary Los Angeles and Chicago based Salvadoran American artist. They studied at the University of California Irvine with a focus in writing, performance, and photography. Villacorta’s practice manifests as installation, text, sculpture, photo, painting, and weaving to question the dysfunction and futility of unifying language that plagues Western dialogues of our collective future. 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.
