Carol Bedoy is a curator and artist whose practice is dedicated to representing misunderstood and underrepresented artists that urgently need the agency of being portrayed in a light that they wish to be shown in.

Constantly rotating between Chicago, United States of America and Aguascalientes, Mexico, Carol creates exhibitions in hopes of creating bonds between audiences and artists who previously had no common ground. Carol graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
