Priscilla Dobler Dzul is an interdisciplinary storyteller, who creates multimedia installations focus on reframing the context of America’s prideful nationalism while critiquing identity and examining the structures of power in our domestic lives. She uses historical research, representations of home and changing taste in textiles across social classes to explore how colonization and ideological identification affect various systemic structures of power through the creation of gender, race, class and color. She repurposes various everyday functional objects and materials in order to demonstrate the relationship of invisible labor of the body and object. She is interested in developing her own unique artistic interpretation of her cultural identity through weaving, woodworking, audio, video and performances.

Her work has been exhibited domestically and internationally most recently she has shown at A.I.R Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; The Bellevue Art Museum, Bellevue, WA; Consulate of Mexico, Seattle, WA; The Northwest African AmericanMuseum, Seattle, WA; NARS Foundation, Brooklyn, NY; 125 Maiden Lane, NYC, NY; Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle, WA; King Street Station, Seattle, WA; The Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, Santa Ana, CA; Decentered Gallery, Puebla, Mexico; Method Gallery, Seattle, WA; TAG Gallery, Los Angeles, LA; Feast Art Gallery, Tacoma, WA: ArtXchange Gallery, Seattle, WA and DAC Gallery, Los Angeles, CA.
