About Mobéy Lola Irizarry
Mobéy Lola Irizarry (they/them) is a Two Spirit cultural worker in Salsa, Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba, poetry, and transdisciplinary performance. Based in the Bronx, they hail from the Puerto Rican diaspora in Hartford, CT, and are a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. They create within the lineages of decolonial uprisings, collections of tiny mirrors at queer clubs, and the precolonial languages of the drum and the braid. They are a Letras Boricuas ‘26 fellow and played Scarecrow in MOMA’s 2026 presentation of Naufus Ramirez Figueroa’s “Lugar de Consuelo”. Lola is the creative director and conguere for Las Mariquitas, Salsa’s young queer future. Lola is quoted in Rolling Stone saying “I want to abolish patriarchy in Salsa… this is a duty to our lineage.”
