SUMMARY:ESCALA Exhibition: Perrahabl@ (1999)\, by La Perrera (Natalia Iguiñiz and Sandro Venturo)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOn a cold morning of early August 1999\, the city of Lima 
 in Peru woke to find its streets covered by a new provocative poster. 
 Unlike many others\, this poster did not promote a music concert or a 
 product\; instead\, it confronted the public with a profanity commonly used 
 on the streets and in everyday speech against women\, promoting sexism that 
 a largely conservative society refused to acknowledge. The word in question 
 was perra\, or “bitch” in English. This brand new ESCALA exhibition 
 tells the story behind the poster Perrahabl@ (1999) by art collective\, La 
 Perrera\, formed by Peruvian artist Natalia Iguiñiz and Peruvian 
 Sociologist Sandro Venturo.\n\nThis exhibition maps the development of the 
 poster\, its responses\, and its legacy within the broader history of 
 activism in the arts\, particularly in dictatorial contexts emerging from 
 Latin America. The exhibition features other gems from our Collection\, as 
 well as a filmed interview with Natalia Iguiñiz\, recorded in 2024 in 
 Lima\, Peru. \n\nPerrahabl@ was purchased through the University of Essex 
 postgraduate module AR915: Collecting Art from Latin America in 
 2024.\n\n\n\n
