Jochi Muñoz
Jochi Muñoz is a Dominican artist trained in folklore dance, ballet, and modern dance, and has taken various courses and workshops in the performing arts and performance art. Drawing from his dance background, he brings the discipline and rigor of that training to his durational performances, which make up the majority of his body of work. He has participated in numerous international festivals, both in dance and performance art. He has been selected four times for the National Biennial of Visual Arts (2009, 2011, 2013, and 2023, winning an award in his first participation) and twice for the Eduardo León Jimenes Art Contest (2012 and 2014). He currently lives and works in Santo Domingo.
