Arnaldo Rodríguez-Bague (They/Them) is a researching artist-curator from San Juan, Puerto Rico. They hold a BA in Sociocultural Anthropology and a MA in Cultural Management and Administration from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. Their artistic practice centers on critically fabulating Antillean geomythologies through the appropriation and reformulation of colonial, environmental, and scientific representation of Puerto Rican and the Caribbean. Their curatorial practice centers on documenting, archiving, and exhibiting Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Latinx performance art, dance, and movement improvisation in order to embark on an exhibition-making practice that conceives itself as a Caribbean performance. Currently, Rodriguez-Bagué is a Ph.D. candidate in Performance Studies from Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois). Their doctoral dissertation’s curatorial research, titled Caribbean-yet-to-come, explores the speculative relations between performance, materialism, and territory across Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the Archipelagic Americas in a geo-historical time marked by settler colonialism and climate change. Along with Ramón Rivera-Servera and Pepe Álvarez, they are co-curator of the Puerto Rican Arts Initiative 1 (2018-2020) and 2 (2020-2022).
