Sofía Gallisá Muriente

2025 Milestone Grantee

Bio

Sofía Gallisá Muriente is a Puerto Rican visual artist who claims the freedom of historical agency, proposing mechanisms for remembering and reimagining. Her works employ text, image and archive as medium and subject, exploring their poetics and politics. She has been a fellow of the Cisneros Institute at MoMA, Smithsonian Institute and Puerto Rican Arts Initiative. Her work has been shown in Documenta Fifteen, MoMA, the Whitney Museum, Proxyco Gallery, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, and El Kilómetro. From 2014 to 2020, she co-directed the artist-run organization Beta-Local in San Juan. She was awarded the Latinx Artist Fellowship in 2023 and the United States Artist Fellowship in 2024.
