DANI KRIATURA - ARTIST

I am Dani Kriatura (they/them). I am a visual storyteller working with chalk, spray paint, watercolors, acrylics, sharpies, wires, stencils, found artifacts, clay, ink and paper to create alternate worlds through murals, figurines, masks, and upcycled clothing items.

I am a diasporic non-binary/gendervoid auDHD adult refugee child/grown up street kid of multiple resistant displaced ancestries, based in T'kranto since the age of 4, living as embodied shadows, celebrations, revolutionary dreams and traumas of parents who fled the fascist military coup which took place in Wallmapu (Chile) in 1973. I claim Mapuche, Selk'nam, Basque, Andalusian, Lebanese and Russian Jewish lineages, legacies and contradictions. I draw inspiration from the people I know, love, fight for and live for, and the ecosystems of which we are an inherent part.
