SCHEREZADE GARCIA
Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in 1966. Lives and works in New York.
Her work addresses contemporary allegories of history and processes of colonization and politics, which frequently evoke memories of faraway home and the hopes and dreams that accompany planting roots in a new land. By engaging collective and ancestral memory in her public intervention and studio-based practice, she examines quasi-mythical portraits of migration and cultural colonization.
