Artes Mundi, a UK-based art organization, has given the 11th Artes Mundi Award to Peruvian artist Antonio Paucar. He will receive £40,000 towards his performance, sculpture, and video practice, which draws on Andean culture and his Peruvian heritage.

The ceremony was held at Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum in Cardiff on January 15. In an interview with the Art Newspaper, Paucar said he intends to use the funds to convert his family’s home in the central highlands of Peru into a combined museum and art school.
