Biography

Karina Rovira (b. 1995, Florida) is part of the Puerto Rican (Borikén) diaspora. Her work moves through analog photography, sound, drawing, installation, and printmaking. She is always carrying her notebook, and camcorder.

Her practice is rooted in repetition, connection, communication, and intuition; returning again and again to the relationships closest to her and the histories and stories they carry, in order to understand her own relationship to them. Working becomes a way of staying near, building relationships, and listening for fleeting emotional textures, trying to catch them in the light with a sensibility of quiet noticing.
