Denise “The Vamp DeVille” Zubizarreta is a Puerto Rican and Cuban American Mixed Media Interdisciplinary Artist raised between Union City, NJ, and Hialeah, FL, currently living and working in Denver, CO. She is the former President of the Student Government Association at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design where she completed her BFA in Fine art.

Statement:

I explore post-colonial theory through mixed media artworks and immersive installations. By investigating the 20th century cultural effects of colonialism within Latiné communities, I challenge the binaries between Self and “Other.” Traditions, memories, and contemporary life are blended in my work to honor, reclaim, as well as, reinvent narratives of the past, present, and future.
