ARTIST BIO:

CR4CKROCK (they / them) is a Dominican filmmaker, installation artist, and DJ currently pursuing an MFA in Moving Image at Columbia University.  Their work aims to deconstruct the gallery space, challenging its traditional colonial associations, and reimagines it as a site that is intrinsically linked to the underground and Black cultural expressions - while asserting that the underground is Black. 

A self-identified Club Kid, their practice bridges underground venues and institutional contexts, lying where identity politics, immersive installations, and ephemeral events intermingle and intersect across gallery walls and hidden backrooms.

Through their sonic practice, they have played at venues like Bossa Nova Civic Club, Rash, Dead Letter No. 9, and other Brooklyn staples.

Their notable works include Object Permanence (2025), premiering in London as a part of Trans Video Buffet and screening at the 31st annual Black Harvest Film Festival, and My Body Is An Object, The Camera Is A Gun (2025), showcased at the Museum of Mix in Brooklyn.  Their work has been exhibited in various venues and international film festivals.
