Alejandra Ghersi Rodriguez, known professionally as Arca, [IG] is a Venezuelan musician, singer, composer, record producer, and DJ. Timed with the release of the artist’s latest project ‘KICK’, Arca covers the December 2021/January 2022 issue of Vogue Mexico and Latin America.

Ai Kamoshita styles Arca in provocative sensual fashion pieces lensed by Tim Walker as ‘Arca la Diva Experimental.’

The New York Times took a deep dive on Arca in their early December piece Arca Once Made Electronic Music. Now She Builds Worlds. Citing her years as a club kid, and interviewing Arca from her home in Barcelona, the Times wrote:

“Dance floors are where I found freedom . . . When I moved to New York at age 17, I was very repressed. There were a lot of colors that I was muting internally.” Arca does not come quietly into the night. Rather she arrives boldly and in a commanding presence. NYT continues

She has produced for FKA twigs, Björk and Kanye West, modeled in campaigns for Bottega Veneta and Calvin Klein, and composed a constantly transforming soundtrack for the Museum of Modern Art’s lobby using artificial intelligence. This year, she was up for her first Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards.

i-D Magazine talked to Arca’s fans in early December., as the artist threw parties in London, New York, Barcelona, CDMX [Mexico City] and Tokyo.
