Aleeza Garcia (they/she) is a Chicana and Tejana artist from Fort Worth, Texas, now based in New York City. Holding a BFA from the University of The Arts, their work explores the intersection of Mexican and American identities through cultural liberation practices rooted in movement, storytelling, and healing. Garcia has had the pleasure of collaborating with artists such as Niall Jones, Fana Fraser, and Kayla Hamilton. They embrace their heritage in all aspects of life, honoring ancestors, sharing traditions, and representing their community. Through embodied ofrendas, Garcia carries rituals, stories, and celebrations that reflect their Mexican-American roots. Their work transforms generational trauma into resiliency, inviting release, rage, and joy—exploding like a piñata, dancing to cumbias, and gritando like a rooster. Garcia creates space for healing and self-expression, offering work that centers authenticity, cultural memory, and collective liberation.

Their expression is calm, with a slight, closed-mouth smile. One arm crosses their body, with their hand gently resting on the opposite arm.
