      Artist Statement

       I make art because I am interested in questioning systems and institutions created to define us such as nations, identities, politics, and migration. As a member of the Venezuelan Diaspora and as an immigrant to Canada, these questions are intrinsic to the ways in which I interact with the world. My art practice is rooted in interdisciplinary art-making primarily explored via performance, video, textiles, and curation, however, I do not limit myself to these mediums when another one is more apt for communicating the question I wish to ask with my work. I see art-making as a possible pathway to community-building, -care, and -healing, and the relationship between two people as a possible space of decolonization.
