Sam Frésquez (she/they) was born in Mesa, Arizona. Frésquez currently lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut.
A listener and maker, Sam Frésquez is interested in how information and lived experiences are passed intergenerationally. She uses concealment and containment to explore histories and memories that are conserved in land, architecture, and the domestic environments. Most recently, Frésquez uses fiction and idiosyncratic logic to approach her relationship to systems of institutional power, primarily the United States Healthcare system. Drawing on an upbring in the American Southwest, Latin American mysticism, oral history, and quantum physics Frésquez choreographs video and sound installations as well as sculptures that use a broad range of materials and scale.
