Jurados

Angel Bellaran es curadora, activista y directora de operaciones del programa de Maestría en Práctica Curatorial de la Escuela de Artes Visuales de Nueva York. Previously, she served as the Director of the Gray Gallery at East Carolina University School of Art and Design. Proud to be a lead organizer of the global feminist art movement Nasty Women Exhibition, Bellaran?s work is inherently intersectional: influenced by a conflicting family legacy of social justice and accelerated immigrant assimilation with a specific focus on equity, diversity, inclusion initiatives, programs and activities, Bellaran collaborates with individuals and institutions to further promote awareness, accessibility and representation in the arts, utilizing experience-led art world education with an emphasis on curatorial studies.

Bellaran tiene una Maestría en Artes en Curación, Prácticas de Artes Visuales del Instituto de Arte, Diseño y Tecnología, Dublín, Irlanda (2010), y una Licenciatura en Bellas Artes de Mason Gross, el conservatorio de artes de Rutgers, The Universidad Estatal de Nueva Jersey (2008). Bellaran, una estadounidense de raza mixta de tercera generación, nacida en la costa de Nueva Jersey y criada entre allí y Carolina del Norte, actualmente reside entre Nueva York y Nueva Jersey con su cachorro de rescate, Luna.
