ABOUT THE JUROR
Amor is a curator from Cuba who is passionate about the transformative and healing power of the arts. She is fascinated by the unique and yet universal way in which art can tell a story, convey deep emotions, and help us understand and see ourselves, creating spaces for meaningful dialogue and connection.
In 2019, Amor co-founded the Biennial Ríos Intermitentes in Matanzas, Cuba, with Nashville-based Cuban artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons. This biennial explores themes of memory, heritage, identity, and race, while addressing the specific needs of the Matanzas community. It was recognized as one of the top 15 exhibitions of 2019 by Hyperallergic Magazine and is now in its third edition.
Amor believes that artists hold the key to finding creative solutions to the most pressing issues of our time. She earned her Master’s Degree in Arts Administration from Boston University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Communication from Havana University. She currently serves as the Artists Practice Fellow at the Arts and Business Council of Greater Boston, and the Boston Public Art Triennial Curatorial Fellow.
