Sandra Vivas

Sandra Vivas studied Art History at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, and later completed her MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in the United States before moving to Dominica in 2009. Vivas is a video and performance artist with strong conceptual influences, questioning clichés about identity and the structure of power in relationships. Vivas works with multiple media including: drawing, painting, video, live performances and most recently film. In 2017 Vivas was at her home in Dominica when Cat 5 Hurricane Maria nearly killed her and her family. Since then, Vivas’ relationship with climate change became personal.
