About

Vivian Vivas is a visual artist who fuses moving image, sound, performance, unchoreographed dance, and installation. Her work challenges prevailing notions surrounding migration, identity, and climate collapse. By breaking with historical constructs, Vivian reimagines the narratives that underlie societal systems, creating spaces to reinterpret our collective consciousness. The artist held recent solo shows at Alexander Berggruen in New York and Dilalica in Barcelona, part of the Loop Fair video art circuit.

Vivan has also shown work at the Jewish Museum, Half Gallery, Wallach Art Gallery, Times Square Zaz Corner, School of Visual Arts, and Storage Gallery in New York, Diego Riviera Gallery and Root Division in San Francisco, Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Miami, FL, UCLA New Wight Biennial in Los Angeles, and the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver. Her performances include the John Giorno Octopus Series at Performance Space in New York and ARTefACTe in Barcelona. Additionally, her moving image works have been screened internationally in Berlin, Toronto, Novi Sad, and Mexico City.
