Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:38:28 GMT

Pau S. Pescador (she/they) is a trans-nonbinary artist who explores their relationship to the world in playful, psychologically complex interdisciplinary works. Across a foundation of film, photography, and performance, she has always modeled an aggregated, community-immersed sensibility that flourishes in collaboration.
