About | Jasper A. Sanchez (b. 1997, USA) is a Colombian-American graduate from the Art History & Critical Theory program at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, immersion in public and contemporary art since his youth has inspired him to focus his studies on contemporary curatorial practice, with an interest in queer Latinx scholarship driving his recent thesis research. He has worked in public arts programming with the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, and he developed projects with Lesley’s Office of Community Engagement on socially engaged art practice around Cambridge. Recently, Jasper has joined the programming board of the Boston LGBTQIA+ Artist Alliance (BLAA) and worked on curatorial projects elevating the visibility of and providing resources to queer artists in and around Boston. Overall, his interest as a curator lies in intersecting contemporary curatorial practice with de-colonial action and socially engaged practice- striving to use his skills to provide a platform to artists from marginalized backgrounds and help make their art accessible and impactful for communities both local and global.
