Aurora Molina was born in La Havana, Cuba, in 1984. She emigrated to the USA at the age of sixteen, where she pursued an education in art. Using the tools of embroidery, sculpture-making, drawing, photography, and video, she uses the potential of fiber art to communicate ideas about social and political issues. Her multifaceted platform provides a sustained and powerful critique of a society that “dismisses” the most vulnerable as they become invisible and hidden from everyday life.
