Artist Bio

Vick Quezada’s works (they/ them) queers the archaeological. Quezada’s projects explore the material histories and consciousness of Indigenous-Latinx hybridity within Western culture. They use a variety of mediums including sculpture, photography, video, and performances embodying ancient Nahuan rites to simultaneously make the obscured visible. Their artifacts delineate inherent systems of power and subjectivity in the Americas while transgressing “official” historical accounts. Quezada’s incorporation of natural elements, such as soil and flora, reference Indigenous beliefs that all beings are interconnected; that spirit earth and the cosmology are one.
