Isabel Yi Jimenez (b. 1999, Los Angeles, CA) is an artist, writer, and curator whose work examines the materiality and genealogy of place and the manifestations of diasporic life as it congeals and adapts to structures of colonial violence. Through a research-based practice, their investigations broach contamination, confluence, porosity, urban landscapes, and migratory identity frameworks. They utilize photography, sculptural installation, archival documents, organic materials, and public intervention and performance as lenses of inquiry.
They are the artist projects manager on the curatorial team at Clockshop, where they produce public programming and commission contemporary public artworks. Additionally, they are the poetry editor at Broken Lens Journal and work with the editorial team at the Los Angeles Review of Books. Their work has been published or is forthcoming in Sunflower Station Press; Sunstroke Press; and MOZAIK, for which they received the Future Art Writers Award; among others.
