Alfredo Zapata De Jesús, born in 2001, is a media artist from Puerto Rico whose work is driven by interactions with the humid landscapes of his home-mother-land. Through video and sound performances, he isolates and engages with the physical spaces surrounding him. His practice often taunts the social constructs embedded in these spaces by highlighting and performing symbolism. He holds a BA in Fine Arts and a second BA in Art Theory from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez. He is currently pursuing an MFA in Fine Arts and an MA in Visual & Critical Studies at California College of the Arts.
