Artist Biography :

Jezabeth Roca Gonzalez is a multidisciplinary artist and educator, working in collaboration with their family. Their work pairs the multiplicity of lands and intimacy, it draws on the experiences of living and growing up between rural Puerto Rico and the constant shiftings of the va y ven (come and go)

between the island and the U.S.. Driven by curiosity and investigation threading through an autobiographical form Jezabeth uses multimedia installation and live plants to examine interpersonal relationships, family narratives, Cuir (Queer) Ecology, and how we carry the land's inherited colonial structures through personal imaginaries and the dualities of the everyday.
