= Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez is a Colombian contemporary artist stationed in New York and Bogotá, Colombia. She creates works that primarily focus on the nature of human identity and cultural memory, more specifically through the lens of feminism.

Biography
Friedemann-Sánchez was born to an American father and a Colombian mother in Bogotá, Colombia. Growing up, she recognized the struggles of being bi-cultural from an early age: "When you’re a child you relate in a feeling kind of way, not so much knowing exactly what is going on. I felt that I belonged and that I didn’t." She learned to apply these feelings into her work later in life.

Friedemann-Sánchez attended La Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia from 1982 to 1985. After increasing tensions due to an unnamed civil war, Freiemann-Sánchez left Colombia and moved to the United States, where she recieved a BFA from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, California (1986-94), and an MFA from New York University (1997).
