Aimee Wissman

Aimee Wissman is a self-taught visual artist and filmmaker that works with a diverse array of materials and themes. Since her release from prison, now four years ago, she’s been an active member in the arts community across the state, and nationally, particularly focusing on efforts to curate the work of her contemporaries and create programming that allows for meaningful dialogue and audience activation. Wissman’s body of work continues to transform, but the visible longing for justice and a recontextualized release from trauma remains at the core of her practice and message. Making is an opportunity to embrace her voice, understand her own power, and to advocate for human beings experiencing social and political oppressions.
