TORMENTA

Multi-disciplinary artist

Harlem, NY

South Texas / México

A queer fronteriza from South Texas, is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Harlem. Informed by their experience growing up on the US-Mexico border, Tormenta’s artistic practice ranges from visual art, performance, installation and curated sound mixes highlighting the rich, cross- cultural expressions that have emerged from centuries of migration, struggle, and resistance. Through their work, Tormenta navigates the psycho-geographic connections between memory, Spirit, and the Land to reclaim our ancestral relations and connection the occupied territories of Turtle Island. Tormenta finds inspiration communing by bodies of water and organizing with artists around the city.
