Guadalupe Maravilla, assistant professor of sculpture, is the recipient of a prestigious fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Maravilla creates performances, drawings, videos and sculptures that examine both his personal displacement as a Salvadoran American immigrant, as well as the shifting landscapes and settlements of indigenous peoples.
Maravilla has exhibited his work at major international venues, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bronx Museum, El Museo Del Barrio, MARTE in El Salvador, and Central America Biennial X in Costa Rica. He has previously been the recipient of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship, Dedalus Foundation Grant and the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation Award.
The Guggenheim Foundation receives approximately 3,000 applications per year; only about 175 are selected for the award.
