Marisa Morán Jahn is an artist/designer of Ecuadorian/Chinese descent whose work “exemplifies the possibilities of art as social practice” (ArtForum) and explores “civic spaces and the radical art of play” (Chicago Tribune). Working across drawing, public art, and architectural-urban scales, Jahn directly engages new immigrant families and low-wage workers — and millions more via venues such as Tribeca Film Festival, United Nations, Obama’s White House, Venice Biennale of Architecture and media coverage in the BBC, CNN, PBS Newshour, The New York Times, Univision Global, and more. With members of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Jahn created two mobile studios (NannyVan, CareForce One) and a PBS-supported film amplifying the voices of caregivers; and Carehaus, the U.S.’s first care-based co-housing project co-founded with architect and MIT professor Rafi Segal and developer Ernst Valery. With Segal, Jahn also co-authored a book, Design & Solidarity (Columbia University Press, 2023). Jahn is a Sundance and Creative Capital grantee, a Senior Researcher at MIT (her alma mater), artist in residence at The National Public Housing Museum, and the Director of Integrated Design at Parsons/The New School. She is represented by Sapar Contemporary.
