ARTIST STATEMENT

In reclaiming her Afro-Latin Indigenous roots, Medina’s movement research lies in the intersection of modern release and the diaspora, honoring the divine feminine and the spiritual traditions of her elders through an approach to movement that is grounded, lush and resilient. She believes breath is the connection to the divine, utilizing vesseling as her gateway to creative process building and navigating intergenerational trauma in the body.
