Artistic Statement
Jehisson Santacruz is a transdisciplinary artist who explores territory through untold stories, the local, the global, and migration through reflection and action to build frameworks for social transformation, organicity, and resilience.
His practice includes music, video, painting, and immersive experiences that explore the existence of the invisible; a range of knowledge ecosystems; a universe full of non-obvious symbolism, exploring its existence through interaction by creating a framework for community learning.
