Yamile Pardo Menéndez (Cuba)

Yamile Pardo Menéndez (b. 1971) creates sculptures, installations, and object-based works exploring material, space, and sensory perception. Her practice challenges conventional functions through unexpected material juxtapositions, generating new discourses within both local and international contemporary art contexts. Yamile Pardo Menéndez transforms objects through material recycling and staging, challenging their original functions. Her practice explores absurd material combinations, sensory responses, and the feminine universe. Space-context relationships and the titles are essential to her sculptures and installations, creating new visual discourses and constructions. Yamile Pardo Menéndez has exhibited internationally, with solo shows like It’s Run in the Family (2019) and Dark and Sweet (2013). She participated in Cuba, Non Femeni (UNESCO, 2013), Havana Bienniales, including collateral projects like Parallel Rules (2024), and led educational programs such as Approach (2017) and Zip (2015).
