Coco Fusco

Coco Fusco draws in her interdisciplinary work on her Cuban heritage, using language performance and multimedia to explore issues of difference and cultural politics.

Fusco has performed and curated throughout America and internationally, and her recent work combines electronic media and performance in several formats, including large-scale projections, and live performances streamed to the internet, inviting audiences to chart live chat interaction. Fusco’s work explores the relationship between women and society, war, politics, and race.

Fusco published The Bodies that Were Not Ours with Iniva in 2001. This (now sold out) publication gathers together Coco Fusco’s finest writings since 1995, as well as essays, interviews, performance scripts and fotonovelas which take readers on a tour of a ‘multicultural landscape’, accompanied by critical introductory essays by Jean Fisher and Caroline Vercoe.

She lives and works in North America.
