Mia Eve Rollow is a project-based artist who works with social sculpture, performance, installation, video, sound, drawing and cartoons. She is a contributor to Zapantera Negra: An Artistic Encounter Between the Black Panthers and the Zapatistas. Rollow is also an organizer and curator and has created both solo and community works for projects in Mexico, the United States, Italy, Portugal, Canada and Hong Kong. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland and The School of the Arts Institute of Chicago, where she received a Master’s degree in Sculpture. In 2007 she suffered a spinal cord injury and subsequently undertook seven months of healing and survival by bringing together the resources of art and life.
