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