Aurora Molina was born in La Havana, Cuba, in 1984.

Her multifaceted platform provides a sustained and powerful critique of a society that “dismisses” the most vulnerable as they become invisible and hidden from everyday life. Her early work is concerned with the objectification of beauty and the growing anonymity of the elderly in our society.

With a commitment to Advanced Fiber Art in Miami, Molina is a co-founder of FAMA, Fiber Artists-Miami Association a newly artist collaborative that builds community through textiles and weaves Miami together.
