Briana Calderón Navarro

I’m an artist and community organizer living in New York City for 15 years. My family is originally from Mexico, and I grew up in Florida where I attended my first protest advocating for immigrant rights in 2008. 

In 2012, I received a full-ride college scholarship to study at the City University of New York. Since then I’ve received numerous accolades for my artwork and activism, including a Creative Equations Award from the Brooklyn Arts Council in 2025, recognition from the Mexican Consulate in 2024, and a New York State Assembly Citation for Exemplary Service to Community in 2023.
