Early life and education

Joiri Minaya was born in 1990 in New York City, New York.[5] [6] She was raised in the Dominican Republic. Minaya graduated from the National School of Visual Arts of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic (2009), the Altos de Chavón School of Design (2011) and Parsons School of Design (2013).

Art

Minaya's artwork is inspired by her life experience growing up in the Dominican Republic, as well as living and navigating the United States. She explores ideas of identity, in context of colonialism and stereotypes.[7] [8]

Minaya has done a variety of installation-based pieces, many of which focus on patterns, textiles and their cultural implications.[9] Containers (2015) is a photography and performance art piece, first performed in Socrates Sculpture Park in 2016.[10] The work included women dressed in spandex body suits with a bright tropical print. #dominicanwomengooglesearch (2016) was a hanging sculptural piece in which Minaya took images from the results of the Google Search "Dominican women", and edited them with Photoshop.[11] Each component was enlarged, printed, and hung up along with silhouettes created with tropical patterns.

Minaya also works with sculpture: Perteneciente (Belonging) (2013) contains two female busts, which are connected by a thick braid of hair.[12] A more recent work is Tropticon (2018), a greenhouse in Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island, New York. The outer walls of the greenhouse are covered with images of pixelated tropical plants.[13]

Minaya was featured on Art21's series New York Close Up in 2023.[14]
