Bio Johana Moscoso Is a Colombian Artist Based in Chicago. Through bio Johana Moscoso is a Colombian artist based in Chicago. Through embroidery, video and performance, her work reveals issues of migrations, gender roles and culture from a personal point of view. Moscoso has won awards for her work from places such Woman Made Gallery in Chicago and Port Moody Arts Centre in Canada. Recently, she was an artist in residence at the Chicago Artist Coalition’s BOLT and HATCH projects, ACRE (Artists’ Cooperative Residency and Exhibitions) in Steuben, WI, and at the Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. She has exhibited widely nationally and internationally in places such as ArtBO 2014, International Art Fair of Bogotá, Colombia; Video Guerrilha An Art Gallery On Open Sky, São Paulo, Brazil, and Cuchifritos, New York, NY. She also has had work commissioned for exhibitions curated by Norene Leddy, Liz Slagus and Jessica Cochran. Moscoso’s work is part of the private collections of Cesar Gaviria and Solita Mishan in Colombia, Alessandro Pasotti and Fabrizio Padovani in Italy, and Germany. Her work is represented by Otros 360 grados Gallery in Bogota, Colombia. artist statement My practice is inspired by a cathartic act in which I explore co-narratives of South American and North American cultures. The journey of being a Latin woman and resident alien has both inspired and led me to study the process of my adaptation to my new environments. This study coincides with my research into the traditions of my home country, Colombia. My work is personal and is affected by my history and the mediums that I use. I view myself as a hybrid artist who incorporates a variety of mediums into installations that express my interest in gender roles and culture. Being from a Colombian family of female tailors has guided me in my application of fiber and textiles in my work. My experience as an educator has reinforced and informed the use of performance and video in my practice. My fiber work celebrates the places where my family has migrated, the languages related to these locations, and the memory that has passed from generations through embroidery. My embroidery works are abstract maps of my family's migrations. In these pieces each stitch traces the time, labor, and nostalgia of our journeys. The trace made between the first and the last stitch represent an intangible timeline. For me performance evokes intimate feelings that cannot be described in words but are better expressed through movement. Engaging these fragile human states is the pivotal endeavor in my performance work. My experience in my home country, where the male presence is strong and dominant, has driven me to question gender roles in the two cultures I belong to. In Hispanic countries, like Colombia, gender roles are clearly defined. In most Latin dances, the man takes the lead and the woman follows him; and like a dance, these gender roles are performative and acted out through movements. The incorporation of traditional activities such as dancing and sewing with physical installations has enabled me to create environments that empower the feminine presence and celebrate culture.

  • Career and Professional Experience
    CAREER AND Beyond the Classroom: SAIC Internships Beginning in Fall 2016, SAIC students have two ways to earn course credit for PROFESSIONAL internships. Both options provide students the opportunity to extend their education beyond the classroom and gain experience in professional arts-related environments. EXPERIENCE You can participate in an internship during the fall, spring, or summer semester. (Students on academic probation are not eligible to participate). Our traditional internship model incorporates 210 hours of work and one-on-one advising with a faculty member. Our new option is Professional Practice 3900: Internship as Professional Experience, a weekly 2-hour class that includes a minimum of 150 hours of work experience. Since both options provide credit, students must register and tuition is charged. Either option satisfies studio and/or off-campus credit. The Professional Practice 3900 class also satisfies the Professional Practice requirement. Internship positions may be paid or unpaid and many internships with participating non-profit organizations are paid through the Work Study Program.
