Marisa Morán Jahn is an artist of Ecuadorian/Chinese descent whose work “exemplifies the possibilities of art as social practice” (ArtForum) and explores “civic spaces and the radical art of play” (Chicago Tribune).
From works on paper to performance to civic and architectural scales, Jahn directly engages new immigrant families, low-wage workers, and women — and millions more through Venice Biennale of Architecture, The United Nations, Obama’s White House, The Guggenheim Museum, Tribeca Film Festival, public spaces internationally, and international media including The New York Times, Univision Global, BBC, CNN, Art in America, Forbes, AARP, and Architectural Review.

Tulltorja, Kosovo
[ART + ARCHITECTURE + URBANISM]
Art-Tek Tulltorja — our design to transform a former brick factory in the heart of Prishtina, Kosovo, into a climate-forward art and technology district — has been selected as a winner of the 2025 Holcim Foundation Awards. This annual award celebrates “outstanding contributions to sustainable construction and the world's most significant projects advancing sustainable design.” Along with my teammates Rafi Segal, Bekim Ramku (OUD), and Alexander D’Hooghe (ORG Permanent Modernity), we’ll attend the award ceremony taking place on Nov 20th at the close of the Venice Biennale of Architecture. Drop me a line if you’ll also be in Venice and if not, you can follow the stream online here.
