Angela Bolaños is a multidisciplinary artist and educator living and working in Miami, FL. Her work is inspired by notions of collaborating with inanimate objects to create emotionally expressive, process-driven works that center on the intersection of memory, mental health, identity and transculturation. Using textiles, reflective surfaces, found objects, edibles, and plants, she allows for materials to interact with each other and recreate “memory landscapes” which can become recognizable stories and trigger memories based on her individual lens and life experiences. As an art educator, her mission is to create works of art conducive to critical thinking and interpretation. She presents these works in inclusive spaces where transparent dialogues can take place and serve as growth opportunities for individuals looking to become agents of change in their communities. Angela is a ProjectArt 2021-2022 Education and Social Impact Resident Artist, as well as the inaugural 2021-2022 School Initiatives Resident Teaching Artist at the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami.
