MARIANELA OROZCO (Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, 1973) Multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Havana. Her practice is centered around anthropological concerns, exploring relations between fragility and power, private and public, nature and civilization. Without detaching herself from the social and political context, she focuses on universal human contents: the passing of time, the uncertainty before the unknown, the circularity, the meaningless of the repetitive actions, the weight of the everyday… Her projects include photography, video, installation, performance and public intervention. Licenciada en Letras (Bachelor of Arts in Literature) from the Universidad Central de Las Villas, Cuba, 1991-96, she has made performances and exhibited in group shows at Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, USA, 2019; Portland Museum of Art, Portland, USA, 2019; Frost Art Museum, Miami, USA, 2018; Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling in conjunction with Columbia University's Wallach Art Gallery, NY, USA, 2018; Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA), California, USA, 2017; Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Aachen, Germany, 2017; HALLE 14, Leipzig, Germany, 2017; RIAP, Rencontre International d’Art Performance, Québec, Canada, 2014; Rockefeller Brothers Fund, NY, USA, 2014; Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, San Francisco, USA, 2013; USF Contemporary Art Museum, Florida, USA, 2013; Meridian Gallery, San Francisco CA, USA, 2012; CCE, Miami, USA, 2012; Havana Gallery, Cuba, 2012; Museo del Barrio, NY, USA, 2011; Reial Cercle Artístic, Loop Festival, Barcelona, Spain, 2011; V World Meeting of Body Art, Caracas, Venezuela, 2010; National Hispanic Cultural Center, USA, 2010; VIVA!
