Zoila Andrea Coc-Chang is a Chinese-Guatemalan mixed-media artist and educator from Miami. Her work interrogates the complexities and intimacies between and within Asia and the Americas to not only reveal and work through the nuances of where and when these geographies collide, but in hope of forging new possibilities for existing beyond histories of struggle and territorially-bounded cultural representations.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including Jamestown Arts Center (RI), 193 Gallery (Paris, FR), XXIII Bienal de Arte Paiz Guatemala (GUA), The Arsenal at Central Park (NY), Jeffrey Deitch (NY), Lycoming College Art Gallery (PA), Museum of Fine Arts Boston (MA), the Pao Arts Center in Chinatown Boston (MA) and more. Coc-Chang holds an MFA in Painting & Printmaking from Yale School of Art and a BA in Studio Art and Education Studies from Brandeis University. She completed an apprenticeship at STPI Creative Workshop & Gallery in Singapore and was an artist fellow at A.I.R Gallery in New York in 2022-23.
This fall she will be showing at ARTBO Feria Internacional de Arte de Bogotá (COL) and MIRA Latino Art Fair (Paris, FR). Currently she is a Lecturer in Visual Arts at Brown University and Yale School of Art.
