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 working families and new immigrants — and millions more through presentations at the 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.

As a collaborating artist, Jahn joins architect Rafi Segal, OUD, and ORG to design Art-Tek Tulltorja, a project transforming a former brick factory in the heart of Prishtina, Kosovo, into a climate-forward art and technology district and urban park. Their design won the Grand Prize for 2025 Holcim Foundation’s Award for Sustainable Design.
