CIAN DAYRIT

Cian Dayrit is an artist and geographer whose work investigates notions of space, power and identity as they are represented and reproduced in monuments, museums, maps and other institutionalized media.

Dayrit’s work respond to different marginalized communities, encouraging a critical reflection on colonial and privileged perspectives. While informed by the experience of colonialism from the perspective of the Philippines, his work nonetheless defies being tied to a specific position or location. Instead, his work and research cross over geopolitical and supranational bearings.
