ZARITA ZEVALLOS

is a Haitian photographer, conceptual artist, and architect based in Brooklyn, New York, known for her distinctive artistic approach. Her work combines manual retouching and layered photographs of dark-skinned bodies with powerful materials such as thread, bullets, glass, and barbed wire, among others.

Through her art, she explores themes of identity, gender roles, crimes committed by nations, non-conformity, and political or ideological authoritarianism. She elevates these concepts, allowing viewers to freely explore their subconscious artistic impulses.

For Zarita, art transcends the boundaries of traditional gallery spaces and plays a vital role in shaping identity. Her objective goes beyond denunciation, education, or awareness. She aims to spark movement and inspire change by pushing the limits of expression and driving transformative actions through her thought-provoking creations.

Zarita Zevallos holds a degree in architecture from CUNY and a specialization in engineering from the Inter-American University, reflecting her academic journey during her time in Puerto Rico. Her work has been exhibited at Steven Kasher Gallery, Chashama galleries, Haiti Cultural Exchange, Photoville, the ICP Museum, and the University of Illinois in Chicago, among others.
