Itziar Okariz

Bio:

Itziar Okariz is an artist based between Bilbao, Spain and New York, United States whose work centres on action and performance, exploring how language and signs define us. Through vocal performances, spontaneous actions, videos, installations, and text pieces, she investigates the intersections of architecture, territory, the body, ritual, sexuality, and semiotics. Her practice is often associated with feminist approaches, punk aesthetics, and queer critiques of normative gender constructs.
