As part of the FF50 celebration, we’re interviewing recently funded artists to learn more about their practice and their connection to time-based art.

First in this series is our 2025 Jacki Apple Award recipient, Yara Travieso ().

Yara Travieso is a Brooklyn-based Cuban-Venezuelan-American anti-disciplinary artist working across performance, film, and ritual. Travieso’s theatrical practice has served as an embodied vehicle for survival within violent systems, and has evolved into a call toward our inextricable bond with one another and with nature.
