Dennissa Young is a newly Chicago-based, Spanish and Native American video performance and relational artist. With projects focusing on activism, organizing and collaborating, she has exhibited all across the US (Rock Hill, Boston and Charlotte), and internationally (from Bogota, Colombia to Istanbul, Turkey). She has been featured in numerous publications, including CLTure, Broadening the Narrative Podcast, York County Magazine, and the Art | Tea Podcast. Dennissa's work strives to foster friendship, radical softness, and the spiritual journey of humanity. Her artistic practice creates time, space and honesty, where audience members can engage and participate however they see fit. In 2020, Dennissa has creatively contributed to Goodyear Arts' Making Arrangements, LadyFestCLT, and spent most of the year hosting and jokering Please Don't Touch The Artist, where she curated the zoom room space with an iron fist of love. 2021 has been rough, so lets all remember our true selves so we can recklessly love the real us.
