“My work is an act of listening... to the sea, to the birds, to the biophony of life. As an act of resistance, love and record.

Carmen Danae Azor (b.1989) is a multidisciplinary artist working across video, photography, installation, performance and sculpture. Her work engages the ecologies of the Caribbean; its seas, birds, mangroves, and anthropogenic landscapes, through which she researches environmental changes and the ongoing conditions of neocolonial extraction.
Working in territories shaped by millennia, Azor creates moving image and site-responsive works that draw from Taíno and Caribbean histories. Her practice situates contemporary landscapes within longer trajectories of displacement, survival, and resistance, juxtaposing sites of extraction with gestures of reverence and return. Moving between documentation and intervention, her work positions art as a space for witnessing, memory, and ecological continuity.
Carmen Danae Azor was born in Madrid, Spain in 1989, to a Dominican mother. She holds a dual MA/MSc in Innovation Design Engineering from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London. She lives and works in the Dominican Republic.
