Vanessa German is a citizen artist using sculpture, performance, photography, and love at the intersections of social change and human rights. German creates spaces, encounters, and sculptural works that invite humans into deliberately crafted rituals, rites, and reckonings that explore and affirm the power of human connectedness, or lack thereof, within the living pressures and brutalities of racism, white supremacy, and climate change. She makes immersive multimodal installations and interactive public performance works in and through creative spaces that function across contexts from the bus stop to the museum.
