San Francisco-based Multimedia Artist Angela Zamora creates worlds and sculptures influenced by her Mexican-American heritage. As a cross-obsessed creator, she follows themes of self-healing, childhood nostalgia, and familiar religious influence. Having her stop-motion work displayed in the Bay Area, and screened internationally. She holds community work close as she completed her role as an emerging artist for The Queer Cultural Centers LV1 Cohort, creating a large-scale interactive sculpture for the QCCs 2024 Queer Arts Festival. This year she continues to work with the natural material of tamale corn husks while prioritizing familiar materials metal, wire, and wood intentionally inspired by the labor of her ancestry. Angela holds her culture and family very close, and throughout her work, she looks for ways to convey these feelings of closeness to the viewers.
