Photography by Mel Taing (2021)
XAVIERA (b. 1997) is the American first-born of her Dominican family tree.
Born in Paterson, NJ and reborn in Boston, MA,
Xaviera’s interdisciplinary arts practice is a lifelong testament to her healing and survival
as informed by personal experience, academic rigor, and ancestral knowledge.
With a BFA in Studio Art & Art History from SMFA at Tufts,
Xaviera engages with curation, poetry and prose, performance, photography,
videography, installation, and music to create immersive experiences.
A shapeshifter at heart and a trickster at best,
Xaviera is empowered to assume the self and utilize the mediums
most critical to accessing worlds where freedom and truth reign manifest.
Let’s collaborate.
