Baker Artist Portfolios

Alx Velozo is a trans and disabled sculptress, educator, and performance artist raised in Timucua Lands (occupied North Florida) and currently residing in Piscataway lands (occupied Baltimore). Velozo's installations and performances combine cultural imaginations of illness, touch, kink, the medical industrial complex, and kinesthetic learning models. They explore this research through mold-making processes, workshop and pedagogical facilitation, and movement and object-based performances. They received an MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Velozo has exhibited, taught, and facilitated workshops in New York, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Miami and internationally in Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand. As an extension of their art practice they work as an accessibility consultant to spaces such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Walters, Maryland of History and Culture and worked to found and lead Baltimore City of Accessible Arts (BCAA).
