Agua Dulce is a queer, neurodivergent, transdisciplinary artist, community organizer, and energy worker born and based in Miami, FL. They hold two Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Art History from Florida International University and create through performance, assemblage, installation, poetry, metal, ceramics, tattoo, and sound.

Agua’s work is shaped by community organizing, transformative justice, and a deep commitment to exploring themes of memory, identity, and ancestral connection. Their initiation into sound healing began through mentorship with Guadalupe Maravilla, and their apprenticeship in metalworking has developed under the guidance of Sterling Rook. Grounded in spiritual relationships with land and water and an intuitive exploration of diverse materials, Agua cultivates a liberatory expressive practice grounded in care, transformation, and collective healing.

Agua is an Associate Artist at the Bakehouse Art Complex. They were a 2024–25 ProjectArt Resident Teaching Artist and a 2024 Resident Artist at Oolite Arts Project Space. Agua received a 2023 Ellies Creator Award for a series in metalwork and has been awarded two MIA Art Grants (2024, 2025).

Their work has been presented at institutions and festivals in Miami and beyond, including ICA Miami, ICA Richmond, NADA Art Fair, Satellite Art Fair, MOCA, Oolite Arts, OMiami, AIRIE, BFI, Commissioner, Deering Estate, The Bass Museum, Mana Contemporary, Edge Zones, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Aspen Ideas Festival, and others.

Agua is a trained circle keeper through Fanm Saj. They previously served as Narrative Teaching Artist for ICA Miami (2022–2023) and Healing Educator for The Healing and Justice Center (2022). Their collaborative work includes partnerships with organizations such as Amnesty International, WeCount!, Miami Workers Center, and The Alliance for LGBTQ Youth, and they were a member of the queer feminist art collective FemPower.

I am a transdisciplinary artist exploring the intersections of memory, identity, transformation, and healing. My work cultivates conversations that question societal expectations and uncover the origins of these belief systems, inviting viewers into realms of imagination, reflection, and possibility.

Rooted in themes of race, gender, disability, and mental health, my practice draws from radical transformative justice, community care, and magical realism as ways of engaging the world and finding the divine in the mundane.

Working across poetry, performance, sound, video, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, and metal, I move fluidly between mediums to explore material transformation and speculative futures. My altar installations function as sacred spaces for honoring and healing, while my sculptural and assemblage works incorporate readymade, organic, found, industrial, and household materials. I am interested in post-consumer realities—imagining what remains once systems of extraction exhaust the natural world. Through acts of queering and alchemizing industrial materials, I transform objects built to control or confine into vessels of potential.

Guided by intuitive exploration and deep listening to ancestors found in land and water, my practice engages hope and imagination as revolutionary tools—understanding that transformation begins with vision but is realized through commitment, care, and action.
