Biography
[edit]Friedemann-Sánchez was born to an American father and a Colombian mother in Bogotá, Colombia. Growing up, she recognized the struggles of being bicultural from an early age: "When you’re a child you relate in a feeling kind of way, not so much knowing exactly what is going on. I felt that I belonged and that I didn’t."[5] She learned to apply these feelings into her work later in life.
Friedemann-Sánchez attended La Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia from 1982 to 1985.[6] After increasing tensions due to an unnamed civil war,[5] Friedemann-Sánchez left Colombia and moved to the United States. She went on to receive a B.F.A. degree from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, California (1986–94), and an M.F.A. degree from New York University (1997).[7]
She lived in New York City, New York for 21 years, and in 2011 she moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where she is currently based.[4]
