ARTIST STATEMENT
Río’s art practice aims to lean into a life of imagination and courage through multiple mediums. They make art rooted in their truth, in their lineage, community, the earth, and in spirit. They aim to make art informed by and/or in collaboration with liberatory, insurgent, life-affirming collective work.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Río is a self-guided migrant nonbinary artist based in Chicago by way of the US South and Mexico city. Their personal experience just as much as their experience in organizing and working in co-operatives inform and are central to their artistic practice. You can find them walking their tiny barky dog down the beach, learning to grow food with others, dancing, or crafting the days away.
