Carmina Escobar (Mexico City, 1981) is a Los Angeles–based extreme vocalist, improviser, and intermedia artist whose work explores voice as rupture, ritual, and collective transformation. Rooted in liminality and migration, her practice spans performance, installation, film, and experimental sound, interrogating musicality, language, gender, race, and embodied communication.

She has presented work extensively across Cuba, Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Europe, with appearances at Fábrica de Arte Cubano, MACO Oaxaca, Museo Morelense de Arte Popular, CTM Festival, Borealis Festival, The Kitchen, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Broad, Machine Project, PST: LA/LA, and REDCAT. Her practice also extends into cinema, composing music for films that have screened at the Sundance Film Festival.

She has held residencies at MacDowell, The Chinati Foundation, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, and The Hermitage Artist Retreat, and has received major support including the Creative Capital Award (2026), Foundation for Contemporary Arts Artist Award in Music/Sound (2020), NPN Creation Fund (2021), and New Music USA Development Fund (2021), alongside numerous additional fellowships, grants, and residencies.

Her large-scale intermedia works include Fiesta Perpetua!, Pura Entraña, and Bajo la Sombra del Sol. She is co-founder of LIMINAR and HOWL SPACE, and co-directs Boss Witch Productions, creating site-responsive works where sound, ritual, and landscape converge.
