Leticia Bajuyo is a Filipinx-American interdisciplinary artist and object maker based in Oklahoma. She creates drawings, sculptures, installations, and public art that highlight crafted materiality, collected stories, and community engagement. Her interest in unpacking value perceptions finds its roots in her autobiography, growing up bi-racial in a small town named Metropolis on the border of Illinois and Kentucky. The time and space of quiet landscapes outside and the multi-national dialogues inside her family’s house influenced the development of her critiques of consumer capitalism, fickle domestic desires, and internalized pressures of assimilation.

Currently based in Norman, Oklahoma, Bajuyo is an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Oklahoma. She earned an MFA at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and a BFA at the University of Notre Dame. In addition to exhibitions of her individual artworks, Bajuyo seeks community and welcomes collaboration by participating in artist collectives including the Filipinx Artists of Houston, Land Report Collective, and Project Vortex.
