Michael Rippens

Michael Rippens is a multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on public, participatory, and socially-engaged art projects. Employing a range of media from performance and sculpture to video and graphic design, Rippens examines issues surrounding systemic inequities, and imagines alternative ways to bridge gaps in existing structures. As a biracial Filipino-American, Rippens explores multiple—and multilayered—backgrounds and perspectives, engages with diverse communities, and amplifies unheard narratives.
