Risseth Yangüez Singh

(Panama |1988)

Risseth Yangüez Singh’s work investigates personal and collective memory to transform the discourses, images, and narratives imposed by the system. She documents the living memory of her ancestors and the time in which she lives, enacting feelings and questioning her experience as a black woman, drawing new lines, like sheet music in her hair, to wake up and find herself. She studies the experiences of the body, which records all emotions and memories, focusing on bodies denied, used and discarded, undesirable and alienated, and their context within the system.
