about
CV
Zoila Márquez is a visual artist based in San Francisco, CA, working in various media, including ceramics, found objects, organic matter, and her family’s archive of photos and visual ephemera.
Compelled by the precarity of memory, her work explores the act of remembrance, the impermanence of place and belonging, lineage, and ancestral rituals. Through altarmaking, the performance of inherited rituals and activations of the land, Zoila’s practice considers the role of intuition, memory, and the intangible in the act of self-realization.
Zoila Márquez (b. 1999) received her BFA in Studio Art from Mills College in Oakland, CA. Her work has been showcased at La Bodega Gallery in Barrio Logan, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, and the Mills College Art Museum.
