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.
