Joiri Minaya

 

Joiri Minaya (1990) is a Dominican-United Statesian multi-disciplinary artist whose work investigating the female body within constructions of identity, multi-cultural social spaces and hierarchies. On her work, she reconciles the experience of having grown in the Dominican Republic, with living and navigating the U.S/ global North, using gaps, disconnections and misinterpretations as a fertile ground for creativity. As an exercise of unlearning, decolonizing and exorcizing imposed histories, cultures and ideas, she explores the performativity of tropical identity as product: the performance of labor, decoration, beauty, leisure, service.
