Christian Casas b.1994 is a first-generation Cuban-American artist, curator, and educator from Hialeah, Florida. He creates gatherings of found objects, video, set and sound design, familial photographs, pyrography, printmaking, and painting to explore intergenerational memory, selfhood, and erasure within a diasporic experience. Through engaged acknowledgment, Casas evades romanticization of the human condition by calling upon viewers to reckon with complex intersections of intergenerational memory, selfhood, erasure, and time while (re)engaging with their own experiences in a global context of power and “otherness.”

Casas received an M.F.A. from Ohio State University (2022) and a B.A. from the University of Florida (2017). Casas has exhibited in regional and national galleries, universities, museums, and, most importantly, within the community.
