Tiffany Zorrilla, known as “Lola Libre,” is an interdisciplinary artist who creates conceptual art that engages the audience to become part of the experience. Her works include the dynamics of various public spaces and how we understand the human experience. The body is a medium to communicate narratives of place and memory and how people relate to their lived experiences through basic human emotions. Therefore, Zorrilla uses her body as the subject of performance – focusing on finding form rather than materiality. Zorrilla utilizes mixed media to present her narratives of healing the interpersonal and external worlds. Often, her work engages audiences through interaction and participation. Zorrilla joined the community arts-based organization Perfect City in 2016 and continues participating in socially engaged art practices in her academic and professional life. Zorrilla is pursuing her MFA in the Digital and Interdisciplinary Arts Program (DIAP).
Perfect City, a project founded in 2016. Perfect City advocates for housing justice for marginalized communities of color and empowering communities to reshape their neighborhoods using their experiences to make policy changes. Perfect City enacts creative mapping exercises to encourage place-making and asks city-dwellers to put themselves in the position of city planners to create a city reflective of their essential needs. Perfect City ensures that communal city-building is at the forefront; ensuring that inclusive and equitable spaces are accessible to the most marginalized.
