About me

Irene Pérez is from Terrassa, Spain. She is a feminist visual artist whose works explore concepts of cultural and social identity, gender, language, education and motherhood as activism. Irene’s interest in working with textiles stems from both her family’s history—almost all the elder members of her family worked in the textile industry—and her interest in a slow process of production and the material characteristics they embody.
