About

Born and raised in the Bay Area, Cristine Blanco is an interdisciplinary artist who works in sculpture, video and installation. Her works take environmental injustices, the precarity of resources, and familial story as her starting point. Inspired by her grandmother’s home in the Philippines, she explores the impact of rising sea levels and considers how human connectivity and adaptation are essential to recovery and transformation. Through repetition, reenactment and reconstruction, Cristine processes and makes sense of a constantly evolving world by documenting personal and global changes. 

Cristine is a 2020 MFA Mills College graduate, she exhibited works at Root Division, SOMArts Cultural Center, Depart Foundation, and Slide Space 123. She curated a group show titled, “In the Meantime” an outdoor exhibition located in Pescadero, CA and is the co-founder of Far House Gallery.
