BIOGRAPHY

Victoria Manganiello (b. 1989) is an installation and mixed media artist based in Brooklyn, NY.  Named as one of Forbes Magazine’s 30 under 30 for 2019, Victoria has received multiple international recognized grants and residency appointments and has exhibited her work throughout the USA and internationally including at the Queens Museum, Museum of Art and Design, Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art and the Tang Museum (detailed CV here). She is also a professor of Textiles at NYU and Parson’s the New School.
