dee bustos is a q***r, non-binary, mexican-american performance and visual artist living on the original lands of the clackamas people on what is now known as portland, oregon. dee's creative process is guided by leaning into uncertainty, noticing sensations of what feels intrinsically stimulating and honest, and, if they're lucky, temporarily finding relief from the (seemingly) constant chaos that is living in their mind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
