María Magdalena Campos-Pons: artist, professor and curator
from Banner & Company · host Nashville Banner
María Magdalena Campos-Pons was born in Cuba, and spent her formative years in Matanzas, known as the "Athens of Cuba." It is perhaps fitting that her journey has brought her to Nashville, the "Athens of the South," where she teaches at Vanderbilt and makes art that is known around the world for its vivid storytelling around identity. Her work appears around the world, and is part of more than 30 collections including the Smithsonian Institution, The Whitney, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, to name just a few. And last year, she added another feather to her cap: a MacArthur "genius" fellowship. That hasn't slowed her down one bit.
