mujero

mujero is a bronx-based interdisciplinary artist. Their work honors queer/caribbean experince through sculpture, video, and performance. They believe that by transcending traditional forms of understanding, and viewing not only what is legible of one another, we can embrace being wholly seen. Their practice is the result of a multitude of experiences that require the recognition of all their nuances in order to prompt a new way of viewing oneself, and in turn each other. They are studying Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design.

Grounded by images of the artist, the artist's family, and one of the important queer Caribbean figures in the history of the island of Hispañiola rendered into a digital ocean.
