Alicia Velázquez's work explores intimacy and belonging, aspects of time, and the convergence of internal and external realities using a fluid variety of media. Her ritualistic performances and installations act as scaffolds where humans, objects, lines, and colors are invited to construct and experience moments of togetherness. With a recurrent inquiry of her and others’ timely identity, Alicia performs ritualistic, years-long repetitive actions often woven within her personal, intimate routines. Alicia studied architecture in the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. After graduating she works and lives in New York City (4 years), Amsterdam (7 years), Barcelona (1.5 years), and Madrid (3 years) before moving to Zurich in 2013. As an independent designer Alicia works across cultures, teams, disciplines and media, including graphic design, scenography, interiors and installations. In 2015 she receives an Adapt-r Marie Curie European grant for a residency period in Brussels (1,5 years), during which she develops her first performances.
