Cassils (they/them) is a transgender artist who makes their own body the material and protagonist of their performances. Cassils's art contemplates the history(s) of LGBTQI+ violence, representation, struggle, and survival. For Cassils, performance is a form of social sculpture: drawing from the idea that bodies are formed in relation to forces of power and social expectations. A USA Fellow, Guggenheim Fellow, and a Creative Capital Fellow, Cassils investigates historical contexts to examine the present moment.
