She makes use of sculpture, video, and lighting to create works that illuminate our notions of personal identity and community. She is the guest speaker of TEDGlobal 2014, a recipient of NEA Visual Artist Fellowship, NEA Artist Travel Grant, Art In Embassies Program of the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Grimanesa Amor\u00f3s has often drawn upon important Peruvian cultural legacies for inspiration for her large-scale light-based installations, which she has presented around the globe from Mexico, Tel Aviv and Beijing to New York\u2019s Times Square. She continues to be inspired from Peru\u2019s history for her art but she does not hold an essentialist or nostalgic view of her subject. She often gives talks at museums and universities where her lectures not only attract future artists but students and faculty engaged with science and technology. It feels somewhere in the art of Grimanesa Amor\u00f3s, the past is meeting the future. Amor\u00f3s has exhibited in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3985\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3985\" style=\"width: 1000px\"
