Alexandro Segade
Alexandro Segade is an interdisciplinary artist whose queer world-building projects propose speculative group identities through performance, writing, video and installation. His performance and video work with the collective My Barbarian received a 20-year survey exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and traveled to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The film of Segade’s science fiction opera Star Choir screened at MoMA (NYC) and the Hammer Museum (LA). Most recently, Segade produced, directed and performed in the short film Anoche, shot in the Old Havana neighborhood where his grandfather was born, with a cast of performers from the Cuban diaspora, and presented at the 15th Havana Biennial. Segade is an associate professor of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego.
