Gabriel Sosa




Gabriel Sosa, a Cuban-American artist based in Boston, is renowned for his innovative use of language. Through a multidisciplinary practice that includes public art, drawing, video, and social engagement, he explores how the use of language shapes and interrupts our understanding of the world around us. Working in both English and Spanish, Sosa at times  draws upon his background as an interpreter in the court system to carefully integrate fragments from legal documents and courtroom testimonies to highlight issues of power, justice, and human rights. As an educator, Sosa ensures that his work consistently creates spaces for the public to engage, reflect, and learn from one another.
