THE ROBERT GIARD GRANT FOR EMERGING
LGBTQ+ PHOTOGRAPHERS

Andina Marie Osorio, 2024 Finalist

Andina Marie Osorio is an Afro-Caribbean artist from the Bronx, currently living between New Haven, Connecticut, and Brooklyn, New York.

Osorio’s  practice utilizes photography and image based installations to examine the genealogical analogies of domestic space and lineage – in relation to her Puerto Rican heritage and her queer identity. Her practice employs assemblage, self portraiture, archival personal and familial photographs, installation, appropriation and living sculptures.

Her work has been exhibited at the LES Gallery at The Clemente, Webber Gallery, and Anonymous Gallery, and has been featured in publications like Musée Magazine, Port Magazine, and Elephant Magazine. In 2024, she was an artist-in-residence at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Fire Island Artist Residency, and the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program. 

Osorio earned her Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the Yale School of Art.
