About portrait

“The genesis of my creative process is ‘discomfort’.

Roldán-Aponte is a Chicago-based visual artist whose work specializes in the use of art as a tool for the preservation of collective cultural memory, for social expression, and for community empowerment. When I'm not designing or coding, you'll find me exploring architecture, photographing city landscapes, and experimenting with new tools.
