Chaveli Sifre’s work centers healing practices, the sense of smell, botany, and the belief systems constructed around them. Interested in intersensorial entanglement as knowledge production, she creates installations, scents, paintings, and performative participatory rituals that recover the long-lost intersections between science, spirituality, perfumery, medicine, magic, and care. Sifre has exhibited in TBA21’s Meandering, Cordova; at Martin Gropius Bau and Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo and Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, in San Juan; at Centro de Desarrollo de las Artes Visuales, in Cuba; Bienal Tropical del Caribe, I &II, Puerto Rico; at LACE, Los Angeles; and through Josh Lilley Gallery, London.
