White Cube New York is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Shipibo-Konibo artist Sara Flores (b. 1950, Tambomayo, Peru) in summer 2026.
Flores is recognised locally and internationally for her masterful Kené, an ancient medium that is central to the artistic expression and cultural heritage of the Shipibo-Konibo people. Created with materials sourced from the Amazon, including trees, botanicals and wild cotton, her works are produced with her daughters, as part of a tradition passed down matriarchally through generations.
The White Cube New York presentation follows the May 2026 opening of the Peru Pavilion at the 61st edition of the Venice Biennale, where Flores is the first Indigenous artist to represent her country, with the exhibition ‘Sara Flores. From Other Worlds’. In 2025, she became the first Shipibo-Konibo artist to have a solo show at the MALI Museum in Lima.
Organised in collaboration with the Shipibo-Conibo Center, also based in New York, the exhibition is the gallery’s fourth solo show of her work, following exhibitions at White Cube Bermondsey(2025) and Paris(2023). Flores joined the gallery in 2023, and was first featured in an online exhibition in 2022.
At the Venice Biennale, Flores presents new large-scale paintings on wild-cotton canvas, alongside ethereal mosquito-net shaped sculptures and her first film Non Nete (A Flag for the Shipibo Nation) (2025). The exhibition is curated by Issela Ccoyllo and Matteo Norzi, and organised by Patronato Cultural del Perú and ICPNA Cultural.
