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.
