Born in Mexico\, she migrated to Australia in 2007 to work in Theatre and Visual Arts.  Pérez draws upon the textile tradition of her Mexican heritage to reinterpret it and create contemporary textile trends.  In 2013\, she exhibited Mex-tli\, Mexican Goddesses\, in Melbourne and Sydney to outstanding media coverage and critical appeal. \nFor the past two years\, Pérez has been working on a collection of new tapestries using ethically produced and hand-dyed fibres from countries including Australia\, Mexico\, Argentina and Uruguay.  The tapestries\, embedded with cultural significance\, show an ongoing and evolving link with her cultural heritage and techniques passed down through generations\, bringing together vibrant colours\, beautiful textures and the highest quality fibres. \nPérez has been awarded prestigious grants including the Local History Grant by the Public Records Office Victoria.  In November 2018\, Yunuen will co-curate an exhibition that will highlight the contributions of the Latin-American community in Victoria.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
