Katarina Wong is a first-generation Cuban Chinese American visual artist based in NYC. She is interested in what happens when seemingly different cultures merge and the many ways immigrants and their families constantly translate new experiences of being “other” into a language of familiarity and resilience. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, including in the “Circles & Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art” exhibition, part of the 2017-18 Getty-funded Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA project; at El Museo Del Barrio and the Bronx Museum in New York, NY; The The San Antonio Art Museum; the Fowler Museum, Los Angeles, CA; and the Nobel Museum, Stockholm, Sweden; and Fundacion Canal in Madrid, Spain. Katarina has received numerous awards including the Cintas Fellowship for Cuban and Cuban-American artists and a Pollock-Krasner grant, as well as residencies at Skowhegan; Ucross Foundation; Ragdale Foundation, the Kunstlerhaus in Salzberg, Austria; and the Open Art Residency in Eretria, Greece. Her work is in numerous public and private collections including the Scottsdale Museum of Art and the Frost Art Museum in Miami, FL. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Maryland and a Master of Theological Studies from the Harvard Divinity School, focusing on Buddhist Studies.
