Currently based in Lobitos, Peru, she depicts plant life and landscapes in her work and incorporates natural dyes as a way of honouring the city’s centuries-old herbal traditions. This embroidery comes from a series that reflects on the transformation of Peru's Piura dry forest into a desert. Like Barboza's other three-dimensional work, threads spill out from the confines of the canvas, illustrating the sprawling growth and the effects of intense rainfall on once dry waterways.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Barboza, Ana Teresa","id":"AUTH401471"},"association":{"text":"Artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"","categories":[{"text":"Woman Artist","id":"THES387590"},{"text":"Woman photographer","id":"THES380381"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"DOP","id":"THES291628"},"images":["2025PE2618","2025PD3072"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"97","id":"THES49696"},"free":"","case":"WW","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Photograph","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2023","earliest":"2023-01-01","latest":"2023-12-31"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Maxine Davidson","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"1240","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"970","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Photograph by Ana Teresa Barboza, 'Chorillos', embroidered photograph on cotton paper, 2023","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Barboza’s photographic tapestries reflect on the ancestry and ecology of Peru.

Her sculptural practice is rooted in Latin American ecology and ancestral knowledge, incorporating naturally dyed yarns which connect with both her matriarchal lineage and the socio-political environment of Peru’s herbal traditions. Demonstrating her interest in historic femmage and folk crafts, as well as Peru’s 10,000-year-old weaving history, this photo-tapestry reflects on the Piura forest in northern Peru and its transformation into a desert. Threads spill out from the confines of the canvas, inviting speculation on the continued effects of intense rainfall on the once dry waterways. Barboza’s work provides an important meditation on humanity’s impact on delicate ecosystems and the climate crisis, particularly on Indigenous land and communities.","date":{"text":"03/12/2025","earliest":"2025-12-03","latest":"2025-12-03"}},{"text":"Photography Now display, Nov 2025 - Sept 2027\n\nBarboza’s photographic tapestries reflect on the ancestry and ecology of Peru.
