Harvard Square

Katiana Rodriguez is an Afro-Latinx artist from New York City and currently based in Boston, MA. When she creates, she aims to elevate her family history, giving a voice to her ancestors and to their shared experiences. In an attempt to reclaim the year she spent turning away from her identity, she prioritizes making artwork that focuses on her roots, as a New Yorker, as a queer person, and as proud Puerto Rican.

She currently has a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Illustration. Her artistic influence can be seen throughout the city of Boston. Most notably, she was the featured artist for the Boston Celtic’s Noche Latina poster and a member of the Fenway's inaugural cohort. She has spent countless weekends vending at local art and craft markets, as well as facilitating multiple workshops focused on art, identity, and portraiture. As an artist of color, Katiana is focused on bringing diversity and awareness to visual art spaces through mural work, facilitation, gallery curation, and event planning.
