Photography by Mel Taing (2021)

XAVIERA (b. 1997) is the American first-born of her Dominican family tree.

Born in Paterson, NJ and reborn in Boston, MA,
Xaviera’s interdisciplinary arts practice is a lifelong testament to her healing and survival
as informed by personal experience, academic rigor, and ancestral knowledge.

With a BFA in Studio Art & Art History from SMFA at Tufts,
Xaviera engages with curation, poetry and prose, performance, photography,
videography, installation, and music to create immersive experiences.

A shapeshifter at heart and a trickster at best,
Xaviera is empowered to assume the self and utilize the mediums
most critical to accessing worlds where freedom and truth reign manifest.

Más Querida: The Live Experience

XAVIERA is a punk diva high priestess manifest in an indulgent coalescence of jersey trap, house, and reggaeton in this first iteration of her musical identity.

Inspired by the historical, cultural, and spiritual impacts Black queer nightlife subcultures have had on her very existence, Más Querida is an imaginative dreamscape born from the desire and yearning for intimacy amidst isolation.

Join XAVIERA in her becoming as a living altar.
