Artist statement
I am a detective, a hunter, and a seeker, collecting memories that feed on personal stories, political and cultural heritage, and the human need to situate oneself in a historical context. My artwork weaves personal stories, historical, political, and cultural heritages to speak about immigration, race, memory, and identity. My work always begins as an Autobiographical/Auto-portrait experience and describes the human need to situate oneself in history, mainly, the one belonging to the American Cultural Collective.
Artist bio
Carmen Lizardo was born in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 19. She holds a BFA in Photography and an MFA in Digital Art from Pratt Institute. For Lizardo, using multiple media has been an essential part of her work, particularly alternative photo processes, printmaking, drawing, and video work. Lizardo had received awards at Women Studio Workshop and New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship (nominated in both Painting and Photography). Lizardo was one of five American Artists of Latino descent awarded an international travel and production grant from the U.S. Department of Cultural Affairs.
