Alexandria Douziech is an American artist currently working towards an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited in both Los Angeles and in Philadelphia. Alexandria earned her BFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art where she was awarded the full-tuition McGuire Scholarhship. In 2014, she received the Charles Dutrow Award for Sculpture as well as the Scheidt Travel Scholarship for artists. Alexandria’s work delves into the histories of family to expand out into the sociopolitical. Her work is as much about trade, import, and colonialism/capitalism as it is about autobiography. Through birthplaces and vocations, her families are linked to companies and entities, colonizers and the colonized that begin to speak to a post-colonial genealogy where all are implicated.
