On a trip to Zurich, the artist struck up a conversation with 33 Dominican women who were on their way to the city and who had been deceived with the promise that they would find a better situation outside their country. On the contrary, the artist was told, those who were taking them to Zurich took their passports and planned to force them into sex work. With this piece, Ramírez questions the consequences of migration caused by coloniality in the Caribbean countries and the way in which it specifically affects feminized bodies. She also reflects on how human trafficking for sex work has been used to establish surveillance policies on colonized people.

艺术家简介

Belkis Ramírez: A Voice Carved in Wood

Belkis Ramírez (1957–2019) stands as a singular figure within Dominican contemporary art, recognized primarily for her masterful manipulation of wood engraving and installation art. Her artistic journey began in Santiago Rodríguez, Dominican Republic, where she absorbed the vibrant cultural landscape that would profoundly shape her creative vision. Studying architecture and graphic design at Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo instilled in her a meticulous attention to form and spatial relationships—elements that would later permeate her distinctive oeuvre.

Early Influences: Ramírez’s artistic sensibilities were nurtured by a deep engagement with feminist thought and environmental concerns, themes that consistently resurfaced throughout her career.
Colectivo Generación 80: She joined Colectivo Generación 80 alongside Jorge Pineda and Tony Catellan, establishing a collaborative spirit that propelled them to explore innovative artistic approaches and engage critically with social issues.

Ramírez’s breakthrough came with her pioneering use of wood engraving in the Dominican Republic—a technique she largely mastered alone. This dedication to craft resulted in powerful images imbued with symbolic resonance, often depicting women as central subjects. Her work interrogated patriarchal structures and celebrated female resilience, reflecting a commitment to challenging conventional narratives within Dominican society. Critics lauded Ramírez’s ability to transform printmaking into an expressive medium, emphasizing the interplay between materiality and conceptual content—a characteristic that distinguishes her artistic practice from many of her contemporaries.

Biennial Recognition: Twice awarded First Place in the Dominican Republic Biennial National Visual Arts Prize for Installation, Ramírez cemented her reputation as a visionary artist who dared to push boundaries.
Book Appearances: Her artwork graced the pages of Julia Alvarez’s *A Cafecito Story* and Angela Hernández’s *Edades de Asombro*, demonstrating her impact on Dominican literature and culture.

Laura Gil's astute observation that Ramírez’s work “is among the most intelligent to be found in the context of contemporary Dominican art” encapsulates the essence of her artistic legacy. Specifically, Gil highlighted the significance of the xylographic sheet itself—transforming it from a mere tool for formalization into an active participant in the artwork’s narrative. This conceptual approach underscored Ramírez's belief that art should provoke reflection and engage viewers on multiple levels.

Notable Exhibitions: Her exhibitions, including “Portables,” showcased her unwavering commitment to exploring complex themes—such as identity, memory, and the relationship between humans and their environment—through meticulously crafted installations.

Belkis Ramírez’s contribution to Dominican art transcends mere stylistic innovation; it represents a courageous assertion of feminist perspectives and an unflinching confrontation with societal injustices. Her enduring influence continues to inspire younger artists in the Dominican Republic, who recognize in her work a model for artistic integrity and intellectual rigor—a testament to her indelible mark on Dominican cultural heritage.
