Damariz Damken

Descripción del Artista

Damariz Damken is a multidisciplinary artivist born and raised on the US-Mexico border between McAllen, TX and Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Her work explores border imaginaries and identity to subvert border constructs as mechanisms of necropolitical violence and displacement that strip our humanity by subjecting bodies and collectives to the myth of ‘otherness’. Through rituals of mourning, purging, and meditation as healing practices, she navigates the psycho-geographic connections between memory, spirit, and the land to resignify trauma and reclaim la frontera (the border) as a sanctuary and ancestrally sacred territory in conversation with the open wounds of our past in coexistence with the present.
