Angelique De Castro

Statement

Angelique De Castro (she/they) makes mischievous characters out of clay and pixels. Their characters’ mythologies are shaped by the cross-sections of labor politics, queer/trans embodiment, and disobedient cultural narratives. De Castro typically co-creates with other artists whose practices are socially engaged or whose presence in their medium is underrepresented.

They are also a Senior Software Engineer at The New York Times engineering reader and editorial-facing news products.
