Arturo Kameya’s artwork examines the narratives and myths that comprise different versions of history. Kameya works with various mediums, including acrylic, plaster, film, and printmaking. His multimedia artworks are often arranged together to create large-scale installations that delineate connections between disparate historical events, linking together a range of visual cultural languages which have been formed over time. Recent works examine the possibility of constructing a transversal narrative from disparate layers of recent history within the Peruvian urban context.

Kameya received a BFA from Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in 2008 and was a resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam in 2021. His work was presented at the 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil in São Paulo, Brazil; Busan Biennale, South Korea in 2022; and the fifth New Museum Triennial, New York, NY. He has had solo exhibitions at Marres, Maastricht, Netherlands; GRIMM, New York, NY; Dordrechts Museum, Dordrecht, Netherlands; and GRIMM, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Kameya’s work is part of numerous collections including Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, Museo de Arte de Lima, Peru, among others.
