stefa marin alarcon is a genderless, genreless vocalist, composer, educator
and multi-media performance artist born and raised in Queens, NY to
Colombian immigrants.
Using an amalgamation of punk, experimental pop and classical minimalism
with queer maximalist aesthetics and video collages, stefa builds worlds
that offer a somatic decolonial respite for the misfits, the displaced and
future generations of Brown and Indigenous radical artists of the diaspora.
Their artistic practice explores concepts of home, identity, gender,
borders, erased ancestry and radical trans, queer & Native futures through
music, theater, ritual performance and video. Their experimental ritual
performance film, *Born With An Extra Rib* won was the Queer|Art Prize for
Recent Work (2022) and Jury Award for Best TransGenre Short/Mid Length,
TRANSlations Seattle Film Festival (2023).
