Yadi Angeles-Figueroa
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Mentors: Yadi’s curatorial mentor is David L. Barquist, The H. Richard Dietrich, Jr., Curator of American Decorative Arts.
Yadierys (Yadi) Angeles-Figueroa is an artist with a Bachelor’s in Digital Arts and Multimedia Design from La Salle University. She enjoys creating art, particularly through storytelling. In her senior year, Yadi illustrated the Puerto Rican folktale, The Legend of the Hummingbird. This ongoing project aims to spread Puerto Rican culture and history through technology.
Currently, her interests lie in ways technology increases accessibility for the arts. For her second year in this program, she is contributing to research for interactives in the new Early American Art Galleries as well as proposing a Latin American online exhibition based on her previous year’s tour. Yadi will translate this exhibition to Spanish, thus increasing its accessibility. She aims to use these experiences to improve her skills both as an artist and aspiring curator to spread art throughout the community.
