BIO
2021
Angela Faz is a multi-disciplinary artist focusing on racial justice, art disruptions, and reclamation of public space. For over twenty years, their studio practice of focus involves relief printmaking, monotypes, and silkscreen.
Faz has achieved international recognition for their Collective Care hand-carved print upon being selected for Amplifier's 2020 Global Call for Art. Amplifier Global Call was juried by a panel of senior members of the arts community from the Guggenheim and Tate Modern. Collective Care was recently included in the Prints & Photographs Division Online Catalog at the Library of Congress to preserve this historic moment in our country.
In 2019, Faz, along with eight other women and gender non-conforming folks, created Our City, Our Future (OCOF) to shift the nexus of power in Dallas. While working with OCOF, they met Nora Soto and co-founded Nopalistxs. Nopalistxs is a self-funded activist art collective focused on illustrating injustices and creating art disruptions that comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Faz also volunteers with civic-minded groups in Dallas to create visionary and inspirational art to inspire dialogue and transformation.
Faz lives in Dallas' Oak Cliff neighborhood with their two fabulous cats and one heart-meltingly cute dog.

In May 2018, they completed a six-week printmaking residency in Puebla, Mexico, where they spent time researching ancestral roots, colonization, and the mythologies accompanying them.

They have exhibited at Turner House and Plush Art in Dallas, and venues beyond Dallas. And in 2018, they were selected for The Doors of Make Room exhibition displayed as part of a public art display in Washington, DC., "The Doors of Make Room" on the streets of Washington, D.C.
