Xander Marro has been living the good life in the feminist sub-underground for too many years to count on her long bony fingers.  She draws pictures (usually narrative), makes movies (usually not narrative), produces plays with elaborate sets and costumes (usually narrative, but confusing), and then makes stuff like posters, quilts and dioramas (probably narrative?). Her work is often about spiritual relationships to the material stuff of this world. Co-founder of the Dirt Palace in 2000 (feminist cupcake encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket river, which is to say in Providence, RI USA). Her studio (and heart) is there still.  
 
She cut her teeth in arts management on the jagged edges of spreadsheets at AS220 while serving as the Managing Director.  She's been involved with issues around affordable housing, and equity within the changing landscape of urban America for nearly two decades. She currently serves as the Vice President of the board of ONE Neighborhood Builders, a Providence community development corporation, and as chair of Providence’s Art and City Life Commission.
 
She is currently working on an illustrated memoir about the renovation of a long abandoned Victorian mansion.
