Alejandra Glez on Clubhouse

Bio

The work of Alejandra Glez (Havana, 1996) addresses specific personal and social issues. She peruses her own experience with traumas such as panic attacks and sexual assault to build unique and stirring visual artwork. Moreover, she aims at exploring the feminine identity while delving into some of the most actual approaches to the feminist theory. Media such as photography, collage, installation, performance and video are implemented to defy the patriarchal codes that stigmatize femininity. This, in order to question the macho-imposed models that she grew up with and to achieve a deeper self-knowledge. In fact, self-reflection.Through a part of her work the artist also attempts at feeding the flow of the universal process that aims at normalizing nudism as a pacific exercise of self-release.
