Giuseppi Rodriguez

Born in Callao, Peru, Bryan ‘Giuseppi’ Rodriguez Cambana harvests a multidisciplinary practice through the kinesthetics of Afrodiasporic genres of music such as Hip-Hop and Salsa, in relation to surreal imaginings of memories in personal narratives; seeking to develop a language born out of the dysfunctional marriage between the performances prescribed by these genres (their visual culture) and a Fine Art context—participating in a conversation about movement, desire, bodies, color, race and poverty. 

Giuseppi’s work has been exhibited in various galleries, museums and festivals, including The Queens Museum in Queens, New York, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA, ENCUENTRO in Mexico D.F, The International Festival of The New Latin American Cinema in Havana, Cuba, and was more recently the 2018-19 recipient of More Art’s Public Art Grant in New York City.  

He received his BFA from The School of The Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University in 2014; and was co-founder and curator of artist/curatorial team Sweety’s (active between 2013-2017), space and performative gesture dedicated to the presence and work of Black and Indigenous artists. From 2017-2019,  he worked as the Teen and Family Programs Coordinator at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City.
