Yaima Carrazana

Yaima Carrazana is a Cuban artist born in Santiago de Cuba in 1981. She received her training in painting at the San Alejandro National Academy of Arts. Although her initial focus was on painting, Carrazana has expanded her practice to include other media such as video, performance, and installation.

One of the defining characteristics of Carrazana's work is her engagement with the history and discourse of contemporary art. Her work often presents a critical perspective on the art world, questioning the unstable boundaries between what is considered art and what is not. She also comments on the political, cultural, and gender-based contexts that shape the reception and interpretation of art in today's globalized world.

Carrazana's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in Cuba and internationally, including the Havana Biennial and the Liverpool Biennial. She has also received several prestigious awards and residencies, including the UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists and the Cité Internationale des Arts residency in Paris.
