My name’s Benni Isabel Quintero. I grew up in South Central LA around Watts. I am 20 and currently studying experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts.
I go by they/them pronouns.
My work at CalArts is known amongst my peers for acting somewhat as an archive of my own childhood and has grown to study the ways in which my brain works in regards to coping with mental illnesses.
My art often requires profound research by digging and scavenging through records in the form of images, videos, audio, and documents.
