Zarita Zevallos, a Haitian photographer, conceptual artist and architect based in Brooklyn, New York, is renowned for her distinctive artistic approach. Her work merges hand editing and superimposing photographs of darker-skinned bodies with powerful materials such as thread, bullets, glass, and barbwire, among others.

Through her art, she delves into themes of identity, gender roles, crimes committed by nations, non-conformism, and political or ideological authoritarianism. She elevates her concepts, allowing observers to explore their subconscious artistic impulses freely.

For Zarita, art transcends the boundaries of the traditional art gallery and plays a vital role in shaping identity. Her objective goes beyond denouncing, educating, and raising awareness. She aspires to ignite movement and incite change, pushing the limits of expression and inspiring transformative action through her thought-provoking creations.

Zarita Zevallos holds a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from CUNY and a minor in Engineering from the Inter-American University, reflecting her academic journey during her time living in Puerto Rico. Her work has been exhibited at the Steven Kasher Gallery, Chashama galleries, Haiti Cultural Exchange, Photoville, ICP museum, the University of Illinois Chicago amongst others.
