Biography

Professor Mandy Cooper is a Baltimore-based interdisciplinary artist, curator, and educator. Through varied media from documented performance, ready-mades, drawing, and painting, her work explores how we cope and adapt to the people, ideologies, and cultures from which we emerge, and how we find meaning and healing as we evolve past them. Her projects focus on reframing and reimagining personal history by shifting perspective or transplanting new meaning within existing storylines, or personal artifacts. Professor Cooper's social practice involves projects with individuals or groups with an intimate exchange of stories through word and the study of objects and their meaning.
