About | Moises Salazar is a non-binary queer artist from Chicago, IL. Born queer and to immigrant parents has cemented a conflict within Moises’s political identity, which is the conceptual focus of their practice. Their work is meant to showcase the trauma, history, and current state that undocumented immigrants and queer folk face. By examining the intersections of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, queerness and the history of the United States, Moises addresses the reality of the barriers that immigrants and queer individuals face with the intention to begin to dismantle the myths and stereotypes used to criminalize and dehumanize them. They received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020.
