Victor Artiga Rodriguez (*1987 El Salvador)  is a multidisciplinary artist and educator, whose work proposes a critical reflection of the often opaque structures of oppression and climate degradation that exist within techno-capitalist societies. Through performance and multimedia installations, he seeks to craft speculative narratives that entangle phenomena of collective memory, poetics, more-than-human worlds and digital technologies. In his recent works, he has focused on researching the impact of agrochemical pesticides in underground water sources, and the harmful effects on the bodies of communities in the Global South. He has been closely working with the agroecological cooperative “La Canasta Campesina” in Comasagua, El Salvador and has been part of the climate action residencies in the framework of the project “Liquid Cartographies”. 

His ongoing commitment and interest with socially engaged practice, has led him to be part of different curatorial and organisational initiatives. From 2020 to 2022, he co-curated Circa 106 (Center for International Research and Collaborative Art). An artist-run project space hosting lectures, exhibitions and residencies exploring the possibilities of collaboration in artistic practices. He is currently part of the performance collective Tremenda Corporea, their process is centered around the creation of experimental scores that lead to improvisational scenarios. Their recent work focuses on the topics of extraction of raw materials like Gold and Lithium for the use in electronics, as well as the contamination of water.
