Alex Strada's socially engaged artwork reimagines systems of power and creates platforms for collectivity and transformation. Working across sculpture and installation, video, photography, archives, and public practice, her projects are often long-term, unfolding through sustained collaborations that guide both their process and form. Since 2022, Strada has served as the Public Artist in Residence with the New York City Department of Homeless Services and the Department of Cultural Affairs.
Recent solo exhibitions and public art commissions include Storefront for Art and Architecture; Queens Museum; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; Project Row Houses; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum; and Times Square Arts. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, BOMB, The Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, and WNYC’s The Brian Lehrer Show. Strada’s practice has been supported by grants and fellowships from the Graham Foundation, Artadia, NYFA, NYSCA, Rema Hort Mann Foundation, and Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and through artist residencies at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Pioneer Works, and Headlands Center for the Arts.
