Caledonia Curry, known professionally as Swoon, is an American street artist and printmaker born in 1978, recognized as one of the first women to achieve international recognition in the male-dominated world of street art. She is best known for her large-scale, intricately cut wheat-paste prints and paper installations depicting the human figure, often combining portraiture with organic and architectural elements to explore themes of community, humanity, and connection. Her work has transcended street contexts to appear in major museums and galleries worldwide, while she continues to engage in humanitarian art projects that use creativity as a tool for social change.
