Stephanie Gonzalez

Estephania González is a Phoenix-based multimedia artist from the Midwest.  Using video, animation, installation, and performance, she explores concepts of spacetime and cosmologies. González explores the complexities of the question, where are you from? This question becomes the foundation for much of her work from which she creates new narratives that reflect upon and take into consideration a contemporary understanding of the human condition and her personal consciousness. She looks at theories from physics and latin indigenous cosmologies, and how these understandings intersect with personal identity.  González’s work aims at sharing narratives to better understand each other in a time where harsh realities plague our species and our planet, “It is my hope that by creating narratives, I encourage others to reflect on their own narrative. By sharing stories, we can set our differences aside and focus on commonalties that we have with one another.”

González received her MFA in Intermedia from Arizona State University. She received a BFA in Performance Art and BA in Art History from the University of Northern Iowa. She has been a resident at Guapamacataro, Michoacan Mexico, and La Wayaka Current in the Atacama Desert in Chile.
