Lizania Cruz is a Dominican visual artist, designer and participatory artist based in New York. Cruz's art examines how human migration "affects ways of being and belonging". Her multimedia installations and projects frequently employ audience participation, drawing on archives as well as the testimonies and oral histories of her subjects. Her projects have incorporated floral arrangements designed by undocumented workers in response to the immigration policy of Donald Trump, testimonials from people about how the American Dream died for them, and investigations into the internalization of the historical narratives of racism in the Dominican Republic.
Cruz graduated from Philadelphia University. She has had solo exhibitions at A.I.R. Gallery and the CUE Art Foundation.
