Juana Valdés has been an exhibiting artist for over thirty years. She received a BFA from Parsons School of Design (1991), an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (1993), and she is an alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (1995). Her research-based practice combines printmaking, photography, video, sculpture, and ceramics to explore race, gender, and class in the transnational Afro-Latinx diaspora and colonial networks of trade and labor.

Each piece is a testament to her journey, reflecting the intimate interplay between personal memory and collective history. Her work—deeply entrenched in issues of race, transnationalism, gender, and class—serves not merely as a mirror to society, but as a window into a realm where every color, texture, and shape tells a story.
