Stevie Cisneros Hanley has been anchored in Chicago for 13 years where they work as an artist, curator, educator, and member of the Bargaining Committee of the newly unionized School of the Art Institute of Chicago. They teach Queer Color, a Research Studio class awarded the Pulitzer Campus Visit and a Course Enrichment Grant to work with Indigenous cultural preservationists and producers, such as Hinaleimoana Kwai Kong Wong-Kalu and Kwasi Gyamfi Asiedu. Hanley is co-chair of the 2023 Terrain Biennial. They have had solo shows at the International Museum of Surgical Science, University Club of Chicago, M LeBanc, and Center of Endless Progress Berlin. Hanley has participated in numerous international exhibitions including Tüyup, Istanbul; Artist House Jerusalem, Jerusalem; La Mama Galeria, New York City; Lodos Contemporary, Mexico City; Julius Caesar Chicago; September, Berlin; NADA Miami; Iceberg Projects, Chicago; and CANARY, Los Angeles, Twins Gallery Laundry, and the Poetry Foundation. Hanley is currently exhibiting in NO BIOS, for Visual AIDS in New York City. As a multiracial person of Mexican (Zacatecas), Irish, Indigenous Hawaiian (Kanaka Maoli), and Punjabi ancestry, I seek to uplift marginalized voices and cooperate in post-colonial community building. I've never fit neatly into privileged cultural or ethnic categories, which led me to find belonging and build my art practice in the margins and peripheries of diverse worlds. Like me, my artwork refuses to be easily categorized, thriving instead in layers of complexity, contradiction, and humor.
