Melinda Kiefer Santiago (b. Mt Vernon, NY) is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Queens, NY. Through painting, collage, sculpture, performance, and collaboration she explores visions from the subconscious, identity as interwoven with the environment, and the return of the repressed with climate change. In addition to her practice, she collaborates with her partner, Christopher Santiago as Phantasmata, organizing projects for artists in both DIY and formal spaces such as recently co-curating “Dream Alliance” at ChaShaMa 227 W 29th St based on an interdisciplinary journal issue of the Anthropology of Consciousness which they are guest co-edited for Fall 2023.
