Danishta Rivero

Danishta Rivero is a Venezuelan-American improviser, performer, sound artist and multimedia artist based in Oakland. Her artistic practice is characterized by a deep exploration of sound, focusing on the human voice and its transformation through technology, and the ways technology and the body come up against each other in the reconfiguration of identity. She focuses on the friction at the edges of these encounters and the resulting recalibration of our concepts of the world and ourselves in it. Rivero is a member of the electro-acoustic duo Voicehandler with percussionist Jacob Felix Heule. She is also half of Las Sucias, a tropical noise duo with Alexandra Buschman-Román.
