Coco Angelo is a Cuban-American artist based in London whose practice spans sculpture, set-making, video, and performance. Her work develops through storytelling, using the body, objects, and constructed environments to explore tension, repetition, and transformation. Through uniformed bodies, repeated frames, and encounters between folk and machine, Angelo investigates themes of duality and the possibility of freedom within opposing forces.

Her fine art practice explores internal worlds shaped by feminism, displacement, and broader sociopolitical struggles. Angelo often captures moments of stillness within chaos, staging climactic scenes that suggest both collapse and renewal. Within these spaces, gestures of hope emerge - like a rainbow piercing through wreckage - pointing toward resilience and transformation.

Alongside this, her performance practice engages with external worlds and collective action. Rooted in activism, Angelo uses protest, ritual, and collective organising as tools for resistance and change. Inspired by Situationist strategies, she creates performances in unconventional commons and transitional spaces, including abandoned, commercial, and institutional sites.

Her work has been presented at YoungArts Gallery (2020), The Horse Hospital (London, 2023), The Crypt Gallery (2023), Hoxton Arches (2025), Hoxton Cabin (2025), Theatreship (2025), and Farsight Gallery (2025). Angelo also collaborates with feminist and experimental art groups including A Woman Becomes A Wolf When She Learns How To Scream and Cafe of Nobody. With Cafe of Nobody, she contributes to the radio project Radio de Nadie, whose first episode aired in December 2024 as part of an exhibition at Central Saint Martins, UAL.
