Known as “Latina in Museums” online, Karen Vidangos leverages the digital space to explore and elevate underrepresented perspectives in the arts.
As a social media specialist, Vidangos has created engaging strategies to support the National Portrait Gallery’s 2019 American Portrait Gala and the 2021 Obama Portraits Tour. In 2021, she was selected to lead the social media strategy and launch of the Smithsonian’s institution-wide initiative, Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past, a collaborative platform that explores the history and legacy of race and racism in the United States and beyond.
Vidangos has a B.A. in Art History from the University of Maryland and an M.A. in Museum Studies from George Washington University. She's written for A Woman's Thing and Remezcla, and been featured in Bust Magazine, Bustle, and The Art Gorgeous.
Vidangos is the founder of Latinx Art Collective, the first nationwide database exclusively for Latinx artists in the United States and Caribbean. Additionally, she serves as the Social Media Manager for the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
