Nube Cruz is an anti-disciplinary artist and writer working across sculpture, photography, installation, and performance. They investigate Indigenous hauntology, speculative fiction, and the psychic residue of migrant labor. Nube’s work uses archival data and “ghost objects” to imagine time travel as a practice of investigation. Via these objects they also explore collapse and fracture.

They hold a BFA from UCLA Art 2024 and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture 2024. Recent exhibitions include the Clemente Center in NYC and Murmurs in Los Angeles, with performances at the Feminist Center for Creative Work and Coaxial DTLA.

Their research has included the Mobile Indigenous Community Archive Project and Mapping Indigenous Los Angeles, focusing on Indigenous archives. Nube’s work has been featured in Der Greif (Munich, Germany) and in Our Work is Everywhere: An Illustrated Oral History of Queer and Trans Resistance by Syan Rose. Their work is held in the American Indian Community Center Archive at UCLA.
