2025-02-13 • Sam Fox School
MFA in Visual Art candidates Eva Agüero and Czeslawa Wojtkowski have been selected to take part in workshops at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts, this summer. Two awards are offered each year for MFA-VA students to attend workshops, covering tuition, housing, and travel.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Eva Agüero explores themes of perception and domesticity through her choice of materials, using them as symbols to engage with ideas of memory and territory. Her work blends everyday domestic actions with playful visuals, prompting reflections on how these elements shape our sense of identity and influence our understanding of reality. She has won prestigious awards in Venezuela including at the National Universities Art Prize at MACZUL, where she won second place, and the renowned Youth with FIA Salon (Ibero-American Art Fair), earning an honorary mention.
Czeslawa Wojtkowski is a digital and fiber artist exploring femmephobia through the context of transgender and non-binary identities. They combine digital collage and video montage with traditionally feminine forms of making such as sewing, weaving, cross-stitch, and embroidery to implicate cissexist individuals and institutions in the subjugation of LGBTQIA+ femmes, while also using ideas of radical refusal to reify the power of non-cisnormative individuals.
