About the Artists
Cheyenne Concepcion, a Filipino-American artist and designer whose work explores how architecture, politics, history and aesthetics shape place across a wide range of media, including sculpture, design, social practice and public art. She creates craft-inspired sculptures, large-scale public installations and functional objects that confront hidden histories within the American landscape. By shining a light on the stories of the people and places that have been overlooked, Concepcion uses her work to engage ideas of cultural memory, migration and the built environment. She works between San Francisco and New York City. Concepcion has received fellowships and residencies from Socrates Sculpture Park, Monument Lab, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the Goethe Institut and was a recipient of the Excellence in Design Award from UC Berkeley.
Estelle Maisonett, an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Her work is an investigation of how personal and socio-cultural relationships to objects and materials inform preconceived notions of identity, economic status, accessibility, race, sexual orientation, and gender. With a practice comprising photography, printmaking, sculpture painting, and video, Maisonett’s life-size collages explore how Latinx identity has historically been composited by fragments of cultures locally and abroad. Maisonett received her MFA in Painting and Printmaking at the Yale School of Art in 2023 and her BFA from SUNY Purchase College in 2013. She was a recipient of the 2023 Barry Cohen Scholarship, 2022 Alice Kimball Travel Grant Fellowship, 2021 NewWave Artist-in-Residence, 2018 Artist in the MarketPlace Fellow at the Bronx Museum of the Arts and a 2018 BronxArtSpace Artist in Residence. Estelle has exhibited at The Bronx Museum of Art, Chashama, Silent Barn, Field Projects, Bronx Art Space, El Barrio ArtSpace at PS109, Latchkey, Longwood art Gallery, The Andrew Freedman Home, Hostos College, The School of Visual Arts amongst others.
