Rumbo Mercy
Rumbo Mercy is a mixed media artist who employs surrealism and retrofuturistic imagery to discuss cultural identity and displacement. She navigates through stories of displacement and disorientation embedded in migration and citizenship, time and transportation.
Through worldbuilding, escapism and narratives of a strange yet familiar fictional place, it reflects the phenomenon of “cross-cultural kids” – people with multiple cultural identities who struggle to integrate into any group due to shifting backgrounds and locations. She explores retro-futurism, archival recordings, liminality and surrealism using imagery and multimedia disciplines to combine the familiar with the unfamiliar, creating a dreamlike realm of reflection and introspection.
