Cheyenne Concepcion
Urbanist, Artist, and Designer, Borderlands Archive
San Francisco, CA

Cheyenne Concepcion (b. 1991, Los Angeles) is an artist and designer living and working in San Francisco. Her art practice is strongly research oriented and investigates the politics of space through installation, speculation, cartography and collecting. Drawing on her interest and training in urban design and planning, Concepcion’s work focuses on socio-spatial theory, land development, migration and often has a public component.

She is a 2020 Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Fellow and in 2019, she was a Monument Lab Fellow and recipient of the Excellence in Design Award from UC Berkeley. Her work has been shown in galleries and in-situ. A “self-taught” artist, Concepcion received her Master’s in Landscape Architecture from UC Berkeley and Bachelors of Arts in Urban Planning and Policy from UC San Diego. By day, she is a Designer at Spiegel Aihara Workshop in SF’s Dogpatch.
