Dorothy R. Santos, Ph. D.

Bio

Dorothy Santos (she/they) creates work informed by social interactions, language, and labor. Her creative practice is informed by her experiences growing up in an immigrant Filipino household with parents who raised her in San Francisco’s Mission District. She creates interactive, text- and sound-based works that process complex familial and cultural histories. She makes work through a variety of forms and formats, including durational (experimental) writing, game play, subversive practices, field recordings combined with recitations, and imposition of constraints.
