Sol Cabrini de la Ciudad is a performance artist, musician, poet-philosopher, filmmaker, and scholar from Chicago. She is the author of Tgirl.jpg, published by Roof Books, an imprint of the Segue Foundation. Under the alias Sol Patches, she composes music that interweaves sonic experimentation with cultural memory. Cabrini’s creative and academic work is deeply shaped by the movement and interconnections between her Louisiana-Mississippi-Tennessee heritage and Chicago — sites she considers vital to expression, creolization, study, and celebration.

WHY PS @ NYU?

I chose to study at Performance Studies to rethink and reorient attachments to philosophy, narrative, history, politics, meaning, and computational structures.
