Coco Fusco is a Cuban-American writer and interdisciplinary artist. A significant part of her work has focused on themes of colonialism, power, race, gender and history. In her work she uses her own body, not only as a space of fusion, but also as its immediate product. Through performance she creates and inhabits multiple identities in order to destabilise those which have historically been imposed on bodies by colonial, racial and gender-based forces. She also engages with legacies of Cuban exile through Catholic rituals and experiences of displacement. Her works have been presented at the 56th Biennale di Venezia, the Whitney Biennial in New York, and the Sydney Biennial. More information at cocofusco.com.
