Josh Tirados Suarez
Josh Tirados Suarez is an artist and butoh practitioner praying for benevolence in times of hope and despair. Embracing collective memory, ancestry, and power in nonviolent resistance. Understanding that the body endures, and its existence is defined by duration, his performance work tells stories of life in consideration for its continuity of a whole, inseparable from its previous state, in hopes to dance further into time.
