Rixy
(b. 1995, she/her) is a New England-based interdisciplinary street artist working in the intersection of global feminism, spirituality, storytelling, and social practice. She explores “experimental worldbuilding” through stylized murals, sculptures, paintings and public art installations to activate worldly third spaces and bridge gaps between public and private walls. These projects use mediums and processes such as spray paint, found objects, assemblaged canvases, and sustainable tools to comment on practices found along her contemporary and ancestral Latinx Caribbean diaspora. Through this framework "Cúcala" was created, a fantastical storyisland that reflects our practices in equity, identity, and empowerment and lives through these projects in a connected narrative. Her studio, educational, + production programming, live under "Studio Cúcala", or STÚCA. Rixy has received a second City of Boston’s Un-Monuments Public Art Research + Development Grant, is a U.S Hip Hop Ambassador from Next Level’s Aerosol Residency in United Arab Emirates, is a TEDxRoxbury 2025 featured speaker, and offers programmings across communities including "The Artist Camp", a professional + conceptual development bootcamp for artists. She recently installed "Black Cherry Dreams" Solo Exhibition at Hallspace Gallery in Dorchester, at MECA Art Fair in Dominican Republic, at Rosa Projects in Oakland, CA, at ICA Boston for the WBUR Makers 2023 ceremony, and with Wassaic Project’s Haunted Mill Residency in New York. |
