Sebastian Duncan-Portuondo

Sebastian Duncan-Portuondo is a Miami based artist who participates in multi-directional cultural traditions and investigates silenced histories to propose conditions for cross-identification. 

Stained glass channels both a sacred and Cuban-American heritage in his work. Speculative spaces implicate collective memory and hybrid identities; lyrical artworks navigate ideas of home, queerness, and displacement. 

Through architectural intervention, public art, performance, and object-based work he re-envisions traditions in stained glass, mosaic and light-based media.

Sebastian has exhibited artwork and created public projects in South Florida, Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Latin America. 

He frequently collaborates with artists, architects, dancers, musicians and community partners.
