Angeline Marie Michael Meitzler
Angeline Marie Michael Meitzler is a multidisciplinary artist and writer currently based in Berkeley, California (b.1992, Warren, MI). Her work utilizes fiction, cinema, history and natural phenomenon to engage with the complexities of cultural value. Inspired by etiological myths and causation stories originating from the Philippines, her work contends with familial and personal narratives that remain in-service to colonial legacies through embodying natural phenomenon and the environment as a dynamic character.
Her short stories, flash fiction and hybrid prose have been shortlisted by the 2023 Newfound Prose Prize and Digging Press. Her chapbook, A Drop of Sun, was published in 2023 by Fauxmoir Lit Press. Her experimental animated films, browser-based and multimedia work have been exhibited and screened at international festivals and venues including Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, CAAMFest, Anthology Film Archive, Gray Area, CURRENTS Art & Technology Festival, Singapore Biennial, Arebyte Digital Art Centre, among others. Her work has been awarded support by Asian Cultural Council Individual Fellowship, Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship, The City of Berkeley Civic Arts Program, The Studios at MASS MoCA Fellowship, MAAF & the New York State Council of the Arts (NYSCA), Philippine American Writers and Artists (PAWA), and Harvestworks.
