As a self-proclaimed “visual explorer”, Artist and Visiting Professor Maria Servellón approach her multimedia projects and independent films with “reflective curiosity, moments of magical realism, and a lot of herself.” Servellón wrote, produced, directed and acted in her poetic coming-of-age short film “Hyphen.” She also is working on a short mystery drama, “Phantasma,” and has designed projections over the past few years for plays produced by Company One and the Boston Playwrights’ Theater, such as ‘Black Superhero Magic Mama’.

At MassArt, Servellón is supporting the next generation of visual explorers as a visiting assistant professor this semester in the film and video department.
