Edward Gia is an artist from New York, NY who is currently based in Austin, TX. His work maps the emotional terrain shaped by his Ecuadorian-Mexican American identity. Spanning family archives, self-portraits, marked texts, and slow gestures of care his practice stitches together diasporic memory and personal myth that traverses the liminal spaces between fiction and autobiography touching on migration, inheritance, and the ache of generational silence. His work anchors themes of longing and resilience within the folds of the everyday through poetic image-making, installation, and archival layering forming layered constellations.  Their work has been featured at Photoville, Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio, The Lucie Foundation, among others. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in Photography & Video from the School of Visual Arts (2020) and is currently pursuing his Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art at The University of Texas at Austin (anticipated completion in 2026).
