Born in Lima in 1994, the author of the book Marrón arrived in Barcelona at age eleven. After living for nearly twenty years in the Sant Andreu district, the artist has become an essential voice for understanding modern urban contradictions, from the touristification of Poble-sec to the elitism of the creative scene in Gràcia.
“"I couldn't hate Barcelona if I didn't know it as well as I do. Knowing this city is also about loving it."
The exhibition features illustrations and animations where Quillahuaman criticizes urban dehumanization and everyday racism. The artist recalls traumatic events, such as her arrival at the airport where police destroyed her teddy bear, experiences she now channels through sharp satire against the local 'indie' cultural scene.
