Career

In addition to modelling and acting, Burga is an Ambassador in Peru, where she works to protect the artisans who produce sustainable fibres and then export the material around the world. In her opinion, she is "Peru's engine of sustainable fashion." Juana has been documenting Peruvian textile-artisans for the past three years and launched an exhibition on the artisans in Lima, Peru, in November 2017. Juana is also a supporter of the Parley for the Oceans organisation,[5] and she recently returned from a trip to the Maldives. She attended Parley's Ocean School alongside Chris Hemsworth, Diego Luna, MIA, and others in order to learn about the issues and find solutions to plastic pollution in the oceans.[6]

In 2017, she starred in The Unseen (Los Ultimos), a post-apocalyptic movie.[7] In 2023, she starred The Punishment (La piel más temida), a Peruvian-Colombian drama film.[8]

Burga currently resides in New York City and travels frequently to Peru.

She is married to Martín Landgreve, a Danish film director.[9]
