Teresa Burga (b. 1935, Iquitos, Peru – 2021, Peru) was a pioneering Peruvian conceptual and multimedia artist whose work explored the intersections of gender, power, and postcolonial identity. As one of Latin America’s most forward-thinking of the late 20th century, Burga’s work anticipated many contemporary debates around the role of data, systems, and the state in shaping identity—especially female identity—in patriarchal and postcolonial contexts.
