Portrait of Quintan Ana Wikswo
Biography

Hailed as “heady, euphoric, singular, surprising” by Publisher’s Weekly, “beautiful, horrifying, passionate, and bold,” by Jeff VanderMeer in The Millions, “Rilke’s lost female shadow,” by Conjunctions, “universal and personal, comforting and jarring, ethereal and earthy,” by Electric Literature, and “foreboding” by The Guardian UK, Quintan Ana Wikswo has long been active in the collusion and collision of transdisciplinary art and direct human rights fieldwork.

Wikswo is recognized for innovative hybrid constellations of work that integrate her writing with her original audio, video, and photography installation. Since 1988, her fieldwork and multimedia projects interrupt sites and trajectories of human rights infractions and question time over space in post conflict zones.
