Angela Washko 安吉拉 瓦施蔻

Angela-Washko (1)

Mobilizing communities by employing play, Angela Washko is an artist and facilitator creating new forums for discussions of feminism where and when they do not exist. These forums are created through actions, interventions, videos, and performances- sometimes in video games. Washko is currently researching and ultimately hoping to change unhealthy, unrealistic, limited, and object-oriented projections of women throughout different forms of media by creating public works that challenge our implicit acceptance of everyday inequality.

Angela Washko has recently earned the Terminal Award, a Danish Arts Council Grant, a residency fellowship at HIAP in Helsinki, and a solo exhibition at Austin Peay University. Her work has been exhibited at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, ICA Boston, NURTUREart (NYC), Momenta Art (NYC), New York University (NYC), and Spanien 19C (Denmark), among others. Washko has participated in artist residencies at Contemporary Artists Center (Troy NY), Fabric Workshop and Museum (Philadelphia PA), Flux Factory (NYC), Gullkistan (Laugarvatn Iceland), and HIAP (Helsinki Finland). Features on Washko’s work have appeared in Rhizome, the New York Times, Hyperallergic, Superlevel (Germany), Digicult, and ANIMAL NY.
