Olivia D’Cruz is an artist from Goa, currently based in Amsterdam, working with video, animation, sculpture and puppetry to build fictional and possible worlds. Through these worlds, D’Cruz questions the disproportionate effects of systems of extraction on bodies and land. They are interested in the relationships that are made either possible or impossible as a result of these systems.

While developing a practice of puppetry, they have been learning about its historical use in playfully subverting the state, a skill that has become increasingly valuable under current regimes of surveillance and censorship. Alongside their practice, D’Cruz develops workshops for children that encourage engagement with local ecologies while centring playfulness.

D’Cruz is a graduate of the Sandberg Institute Master’s programme, Planetary Poetics, co-initiated by Framer Framed.
