Artists in Residence
Cipriano Ortega
May 15 - August 31, 2024
Cipriano Ortega strives to create works of art that probe the mind and make people question what they perceive as the normative. Whether that is shown in music, theater, visual art or some sort of culmination of all of the above; Ortega enjoys blending all creative forms of expression. As a sociological artist, he deconstructs the worlds around him and observes it under a nihilistic perspective. As an indigenous POC, they also have no choice but to deal with colonialism head on by making it a daily practice to see the divisions we as a society create and continue to make the ‘normative.’
