​

Devin Alejandro-Wilder (they/we) is a live wire, an apparition, a glitch, a mirage, an interruption—a collection of mirrors pulled from a disco ball, hot-glued into origami, and still shifting. They are a Tejano Latina, latinx, hard of hearing, born deaf, and BAHA Cochlear hearing aid user—the youngest to be implanted in the United States (Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, 2008).

They are also a drag performer, a science experiment, and a poet who speaks in too many tongues—all tangled up in time, space, and relativity. They are very much still, perpetually and always, becoming into forms not yet imagined but emerging anyway. Mostly, they are just happy to be here.

 

Alejandro-Wilder is a current studio member and artist-curator at Bolm Arts, a Cultural Arts Division 2021Community Initiatives Award Recipient (Free Skool Now, fiscally sponsored by the Museum of Human Achievement) a founding member of The Revolution School (Los Angeles, 2020 - 2025), a 2022 Creative Capital Awardee, and a current student at The Austin School of Film in Avant-Guard and Experimental Filmmaking. As a core function of their life and praxis, they remain dedicated to working alongside the LGBTQIA+ Quality of Life Commission as an act of public devotion following their approved recommendation to establish city allocated funding specifically for LGBT+ creatives in Austin, TX and was most recently named an ACME 2025 Nexus Award Recipient (ATX).
