Francisco Donoso
BIO
Francisco Donoso is an artist, curator and educator based in the Bronx, NY. He is a recipient of DACA and a fierce advocate for immigrant rights. He creates mixed-media paintings, collages, and installations to explore the often unarticulated yet deeply felt complexities of the immigrant journey. The works become embodiments of human experience and sites where new worlds, or alter-mundos, are constructed - and where notions of placement and fixed boundaries are questioned to reveal the precariousness of belonging. He received his BFA from Purchase College and has been an artist in residence and fellow at The New York Center for Art and Media Studies, Wave Hill, Stony Brook University and the Bronx Museum. He’s exhibited throughout NY at El Museo del Barrio, E. Tay Gallery, Latchkey Gallery, John Jay College, Wave Hill, and La Bodega among others. His work has been covered in The Financial Times, The Village Voice, and El Diario among others.
