Ani Brutus (b. 2004) is a Haitian-Filipino interdisciplinary artist based in Jamaica, New York. Born in the United States, first-generation, Brutus aims to highlight the forces uniting ancestry and the diaspora. Between the layering of found objects and illustrations of community, Brutus cultivates the spirit of chaos and clarity at the crossroads through visual tension. Often integrating elements from the lwa of Haitian Vodou with the diwata of the Ilocano, Brutus strengthens portals between the material and spiritual realms. Her work aims to honor the spirits of belonging, resistance, and remembrance, while attempting to mend fragments of Afro-Caribbean and Luzon diasporic histories. Ani Brutus is an undergraduate student at CUNY Hunter College, where she advances her practice in Studio Arts.
