Sandra Gamarra Heshiki, a Peruvian artist, has embarked on a unique project that seeks to challenge the traditional narratives of art and history through the creation of a fictional contemporary art institution called LiMac. Founded as a response to the absence of a contemporary art museum in Lima, the LiMac exists primarily online, showcasing works and photographs that interrogate the dominance of Western art institutions. This initiative reflects Gamarra's desire to subvert the hegemonic focus on art in major countries while drawing attention to the cultural vulnerabilities faced by regions like hers.

Since its establishment in 2002, LiMac has not only operated as a conceptual artistic project but has also engaged audiences worldwide through exhibitions that mimic those of prominent artists. One of the significant exhibitions included a replica of works by renowned German artist Gerhard Richter at the 2010 São Paulo Biennial. These performances allow Gamarra to explore the implications of reproducing art outside its original context, raising questions about authorship, authenticity, and cultural representation.

Currently, Gamarra's work is being showcased at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), where her own pieces create a dialogue about replication and reproduction in the art world. Her exhibit, titled "Réplica," features a mural that reproduces all works on display and transforms visitor handouts into art pieces themselves. This particular approach highlights the significance of appropriation and commentary in contemporary art, allowing audiences to engage with broader cultural discourses while reflecting on their own experiences in the art landscape.
