Oscar Alfonso

Oscar Alfonso's artistic and research practice focuses on identifying with and reconstructing a relationship to home, through a process of Contingent Belonging. This focus takes him to his native Ciudad de México, and manifests itself through food, storytelling, the representations of urban childhood in film, the Market as a site of exchange and identity, and city-building video games as sites of the urban imaginary and architectural preservation.

He holds a BFA in Visual Arts, and a BA in History and Print & Digital Media Publishing from Simon Fraser University, on the unceeded Coast Salish Territories of Vancouver, BC.
