Janira Moncayo is an Ecuadorian emerging artist currently located in Calgary, Alberta. Her videos are part of an ongoing journey of decolonization of the self, as she reclaims the prefabricated “Latina” identity on mainstream media. Most importantly, her work recognizes and celebrates the complexity and diversity of ethnicity, as a facet each person embodies as their own. Moncayo has showcased her work at Illingworth Kerr Gallery, Marion Nicoll Gallery, SpanicArts and ATB Art Vault.
