Stephanie M Silva Santana (Fani)

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AT 380 UNION ST

Stephanie’s goal for their artistic practice, long- and short-term, is to keep creating and keep researching. She is interested in Boricua history and heritage, thinking and making primarily linocuts to portray the “minor archives” that constitute the everyday life in Puerto Rico, focusing on family portraits, political messages and the social climate back home and how the small histories shape History. She is a trained photographer using a vast archive of photographs and translating them into printmaking.
