Jill Cohen-Núñez (b. 1992) is a Dominican-American interdisciplinary artist from the Bronx, NY. they create tumored ancestral and futurist spiritual sculptures that address themes of memory, syncretism, and disease. Their practice engages in slow, laborious processes in wood, stone, and metal to bridge immaterial landscapes. Using the language of altars and poetry, their work explores the intersections of devotion and myth-making, a practice disrupted by colonization and systemic erasure.
