ALLEGRA HANGEN

Allegra Hangen is a multidisciplinary artist, independent curator, and cultural organizer who works in experimental video, installations, photography, sculpture, sound, and archives. Hangen’s work explores social and cultural themes, while highlighting the societal impacts of images and architecture. Her practice combines processual feedback loops, glitches, erasure, and research to question and subvert images and text, or rather to create new intuitive imaginations.

Hangen received her Master’s in Visual Arts in Mexico City and her BFA in Photography and Art History at Lesley University College of Art and Design (Cambridge, MA). Her work has been exhibited  internationally in individual and group shows, as well as film festivals, including Salina Biennial 2022 (Salina, KS), Salón Silicón (Mexico City), Pandeo (Mexico City), Galería 54 (Mexico City), Centro Fotográfico Manuel Álvarez Bravo (Oaxaca), Boston Art Dealer’s Association, among others. She is currently  on the curatorial team at the experimental film festival, ULTRAcinema. Hangen is co-founder and co-director of Fortuna, an independent art space and international residency program between Omaha, NE and Mexico City.
