Roxana Barba is a Miami-based artist from Lima, Peru, whose conceptual and experimental practice spans performance, time-based media and sculptural work. Whether composed as performances, audiovisual works or two-dimensional images, her abstractions highlight the limits between the body, materiality, identity and culture, transcending temporal boundaries. Her projects are research-driven, and her performances often involve interdisciplinary collaboration with musicians, dancers, artists and technologists. Her recent performance "In my center, a cyborg seed," merging bodies, technology and myth, received a 2022 Knight New Work Award and a 2024 NALAC Fund for the Arts grant. Her work has been presented by the Latinx Project at New York University, La MaMa in New York, Miami Light Project and the Pérez Art Museum Miami. She has also received a 2026 Ellies Creator Award and a 2023 South Arts Individual Artist Grant.
