Cynthia Tobar is an artist-scholar and oral historian whose work traces the layered terrain of memory, place, and resistance. Rooted in diasporic storytelling and decolonial archival practice, her creative path spans over two decades in academic, cultural, and community spaces. She centers the lived histories of Latine, Afro-Caribbean, and migrant communities through collaborative research, film, and oral testimony—crafting space for stories too often overlooked. Cynthia is currently nurturing the seeds of an international artist fellowship in Ecuador, a sanctuary for care, kinship, and storytelling across borders.
