GENEVIEVE MARTINEZ

From the powerful ancestral roots of Igbo High Priests and North American Native heritage, Genevieve Martinez emerges as an artist whose work honors resilience and transformation. Genevieve speaks of thriving in spite of the “concrete of colonial industrial complex”—growing through each crack in celebration of those who came before, whose survival allows her to create today.

Continuing the evocative project "Queer Love" begun during her recent residency at Bronx Art Space, Genevieve brings her creative vision and practice to the DU OiR House on Governors Island. We can’t wait to see Genevieve bloom and create in our space—honoring ancestors, cultivating love, and forging new artistic paths.
