River L. Ramirez (they/them) is an NYC-based artist originally from Miami, FL. Working in the mediums of comedy, film, TV, writing, visual art, and music, it's easy to forget that they are just a little furby with a knife. River’s work explores magick, collective consciousness, and liberation through play. Their work has been written about in the New York Times, Forbes, Art in America, SSENSE, and GQ. They teach a class called How to Be in Front of People at the Brick Aux, and just released their new EP: GIVING. You can also find them in Julio Torres's Fantasmas and Problemista out now.
