About Isai Soto

Photo by MTHR TRSA

Isai Soto (he/him) is a Chicano artist from Fallbrook, California. After receiving a BA in Anthropology from Columbia University, he pursued a career in the arts informed by his studies in autoethnography. In New York, he grew fascinated by rave flyers which influenced his style as a graphic designer and printmaker. He displays the friction between his ethnic heritage and American nationality as it was presented in his upbringing, at times at odds and at times harmonious, via posterwork and costumes. He has exhibited at Manhattan Graphics Center, the Brooklyn Public Library, Macaulay Honors College, and has performed at various nightclubs in drag. He works from his home in Oakland, California.
