Tiffany Zorrilla, known as “Lola Libre,” is a multi-disciplinary artist who creates performance art that engages the audience to become part of the experience. Her works include the dynamics of various public spaces and how we understand the human experience through technology (BUYME, 2023 – present). Libre uses her body as the subject of performance – focusing on finding form rather than materiality. Zorrilla utilizes mixed media to present her narratives of healing the interpersonal and external worlds (HOW IT FEELS 2022) (HOLD 2022) (COG DIS 2021).
Libre is a winner of the Creatives Rebuild New York (CRNY) artist employment program, a 2-year program that funds employment for 300 artists working in collaboration with community-based organizations across New York State. Over the years, supporters of Zorrilla’s work include Creatives Rebuild New York, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Mellon Foundation, and Henry Street Settlement.
Libre joined the community arts-based organization Perfect City in 2016 and continues participating in socially engaged art practices in her academic and professional life. She is pursuing her MFA in the Digital and Interdisciplinary Arts Program (DIAP).
