Artist in Residence with Stephanie Santana

Meet our new resident artist, Stephanie Santana. Featuring new works created while in residence at Ace Hotel New York, “Spatial Awareness” draws upon Santana’s written observations, personal photographs and family archives to explore the link between the material and spiritual as we move through time and physical space. This residency and exhibition is a part of a year-long curatorial partnership with Powerhouse Arts.

About –

Stephanie Santana constructs mixed-media textile works and prints that explore interior worlds, mythologies, navigational tools and resistance strategies of African diasporic origin. Rooted in archival research while employing a range of printmaking, quilting and embroidery techniques, her practice locates alternative spaces of knowledge and self-definition.

Powerhouse Arts operates a purpose-built fabrication facility devoted to providing artists the resources, tools, and community needed to bring their art projects to life. Seeking to inspire and empower, not just within, but beyond the confines of their building, the not-for-profit organization has selected four artists whose work centers creative expression through material exploration.
