I am an artist, musician, and educator based in the DMV by way of Miami. Through multimedia works and installations, collaborative performances, education, and music, I aim to share healing, interrupt harm, and spread joy through creativity and expression. My practice combines over 15 years of experience in education and community service, caretaking, a BA in Art Theory and Studio Practice, an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, and a lifetime of being a creative. I am the legacy of queer Cuban refugees, artists, and revolutionaries.

I create music solo as licui on all platforms and as half of 84faces.

  • live projection, video, audio, and sound for events/recording

  • parties/workshops/creative experiences
