Angie Lopez

Angie Lopez is interested in modern and contemporary art at the intersections of queer and trans life, conditions of precarity, and the religious imaginary. Their dissertation, Thick and Fragile: Jerome Caja’s Art and Legacy, understands the work of late-twentieth century artist and Queercore performer Jerome Caja as engaging alternative notions of history, value, intimacy, collectivity, and institutional (il)legibility. 

They are a 2026-2027 MOMA MRC Fellow in Media and Performance. They have previously worked for the Cantor Arts Center, the Anderson Collection, the Cluny Museum - National Museum of the Middle Ages, and Yale University Art Gallery. 

Prior to Yale, they received their B.A. with honors in Art History (with a minor in French) from Stanford University, where they completed a thesis entitled ‘In a Queer Time and Spirit: The Cross-Temporality and Mysticism of Georgiana Houghton’s Spirit Drawings’.
