HSP III Visiting Artist : Joiri Minaya
About
The Harry S. Parker III Visiting Artist Program connects distinguished artists to the island. Joiri Minaya is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores identity, colonialism, and cultural representation through installation, photography, sculpture, performance, textiles, and painting. Drawing on Caribbean and diasporic imagery, Minaya uses vibrant patterns and tropical motifs to examine the ways histories of colonialism shape perceptions of place, culture, and the body. Her work reclaims and reimagines these visual languages, creating layered spaces that invite us to consider identity, power, and belonging.

Bio
Joiri Minaya is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist who works in photography, digital media, film, performance, sculpture, textiles and painting. Born in New York and raised in the Dominican Republic, Minaya describes her multiculturally-informed work as “a reassertion of Self, an exercise of unlearning, decolonizing, and exorcizing imposed histories.” Minaya has recently been part of exhibitions and screenings at the Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as international exhibitions like the Prospect 6 New Orleans Triennial, the Cooper Hewitt Triennial and the Sharjah Biennial 15. She is a recent recipient of the Latinx Artist Fellowship, NYSCA / NYFA Artist Fellowship, Jerome Hill Fellowship, and Artadia award, and has been an artist in residence at the International Studio & Curatorial Program, Light Work, Socrates Sculpture Park, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She's currently one of the inaugural artists in residence at the Monti Artist Studio Program in Crown Heights.
