multi-disciplinary artist.
Photography by Mel Taing (2021)
XAVIERA is the American first-born of their Dominican family tree.
Born and raised in New Jersey and reborn in Boston MA, XAVIERA's research-based artistic practice is a testament to her continued healing and survival as she seeks to revive and revere her ancestors in this modern dystopia.
They received their BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University where they researched the history of queer and trans experience within African Diasporic religion and Indigenous cultural identity.
Her multimedia, multi-disciplinary approach to world-building is a labor of love.
In creating her own origin myths through light, sound, music, poetry, and visual art, she plants the seeds for a cultural space to call her own.
XAVIERA craves and envisions a world where Black, Queer, Indigenous, and Disabled people thrive.
Let’s collaborate.
