NICOLE CHOCHREK

BASED IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK




Nicole Chochrek utilizes visual and performative frameworks to explore contemporary issues and environmental disparities. Her work focuses on the accessibility and digestibility of information, deep listening, shared responsibilities, and the construction of new ways of being together. As an interdisciplinary artist, Nicole’s work transverses themes such as air quality, land use, waste, and the navigations of a neurodivergent mind. Her process examines our ideas of “correctness” and holds space for possibility.
