Veronica Cordova de la Rosa is an artist working across live art and performance art, photography, and socially engaged practice. She investigates the impact of images of violence on individual and collective well‑being and uses practice‑based research to physically manifest affect and translate emotion into embodied performance. Her work has been shown widely in the UK and internationally, including at the Wellcome Collection (London), Serpentine Gallery (London), Pitt Rivers Museum (Oxford), Modern Art Oxford, Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), Pushkin House (London), and Chino Cultural Complex (Japan).
She studied Contemporary Arts (practice‑based) at Oxford Brookes University (PhD), Interdisciplinary Arts at Oxford Brookes University (MA, Merit), and holds an MFA and Licenciatura (BA equivalent) in Fine Arts from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
Veronica has lectured in a South London prison and at Oxford Brookes University’s School of Arts. As co‑founder and Director of the grassroots non‑profit Live Art and Performance Group (LAPER), she curates experimental performance events and has organised small-scale international festivals in academic settings.
She currently teaches art at Westminster Adult Education Centre and Adult Learning Lewisham, where she celebrates neurodivergent‑friendly non-hierarchical teaching methods to support community well‑being.
