b. Colombia; lives and works in Miami, USA

Ana Vergara's work builds on the relationship between space and place and its consequences on collective culture, memory, and identity. Using construction materials — concrete, roof tiles, and cement blocks — she engages with the architectural monotony of standardized built environments that define both Miami and Medellín, commenting on migration, redevelopment, and displacement. Her practice takes an observational approach to piecing together narratives that reflect broader collective experiences, often leaving materials and structures deliberately unresolved.

Alongside her sculpture practice, Vergara founded Cargo Space, a mobile curatorial project that transforms rented box trucks into experimental exhibition spaces, activating parking lots, streets, and parks across Miami-Dade County.

Vergara's work has been exhibited in group shows, museums, and galleries in the United States and Colombia, including the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Locust Projects, the Hollywood Art and Culture Center, the Goodtime Hotel Queue Gallery, Books & Books Art Gallery, and the Miami Design District Gallery, among others. She is currently an MFA candidate at Florida International University and a Ratcliffe Art + Design Incubator Fellow. She earned her BFA from the New World School of the Arts, where she graduated as Valedictorian in 2023, and attended the Yale Norfolk School of Art in 2022.
