Stephanie Santana is a textile artist, printmaker and surface designer based in Brooklyn, NY.
Her current work references family photographs and documents, layering hand printed images and patterns as a way of understanding the space between memory, imagination and the physical evidence of Black life.
She earned a BA in Communication Studies, 2006, and a degree in Textile and Surface Design, 2018, and is a founding member of Black Women of Print, a homeplace for Black women printmakers. She believes in the possibility that textiles and print hold — as record-keepers, as protection, as tactile objects of enduring personal and cultural significance.
