    Biography

    Darice Polo is a Professor in the School of Art, where she has taught drawing and painting for over twenty years and serves as the Drawing Program Coordinator. She is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection between personal narrative and collective experience. Her drawings, paintings, prints and films have been exhibited singularly, and in dialogue with one another in a range of national and international venues. 

    Polo’s work has been screened in the 25th aluCine Latin Film + Media Arts Festival in Toronto, Canada, the International Puerto Rican Heritage Film Festival at the Museum of the City of New York, the Bronx Screening Series supported by the Bronx Council of the Arts, the Film Diary Festival at the Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn, N.Y., the 14th A.I.R. Biennial at A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., the LIFE Film Festival in Los Angeles, Calif., and in Commons and Commoning at the S.E.A. Foundation in Tilburg, Netherlands.

    Her work has been featured in Intervenxions, an online publication by The Latinx Project at New York University and reviewed in the prominent arts and humanities journal, American Quarterly. The Center for Puerto Rican Studies in New York has included her work in their Diasporican Art In Motion registry. She has participated in residencies at the Santa Fe Art Institute in New Mexico, and at Casa Pueblo in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. Her work has been acquired by public and private collections: at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art in Logan, Utah, the Progressive Art Collection and the Hahn, Loeser & Parks collection in Cleveland, Ohio, among others. 

    Born in New York, N.Y., Polo received a B.F.A. in media arts from the School of Visual Arts and an M.F.A. in painting from SUNY, Albany.
