Marcano has participated in international artist-in-residence programs, including White Colony, Millay Colony and the Jamaica Center for the Arts; furthermore, she is the recipient of several recognitions and awards.〔Rodriguez- Olivero Michelle. "Dar (a) luz a una isla: entrevista a Soraya Marcano." ArtUpdated. March 2010.〕 She has also been an educator at Bronx Museum of the Arts, El Museo del Barrio, and The Guggenheim Museum.〔(SORAYA MARCANO )〕 Her work, which includes mixed media, writing, objects, and digital work, provides an exploration of mobility, as well as the experience of massive displacement and dislocation of the island. She writes that : "In my work, I explore ideas about life and mobility. As we travel to new places, we become hybrids. I comment on this state of flux by working with radically different media, blurring the borderlines of art categories from painting and collage, to sewing, to writing and digital art."〔(Escapadas )〕 Much of her work concentrates on the changing of Puerto Rico, and the evolution of national and international citizens in the current world purview. She explains that "my work also explores themes related to the nature of hybridism and the shifting identities of the transnational citizen." 〔(Soraya Marcano )〕 It also explores images and artistic practices emerging from migratory histories, as well as from the dissolution of community and the reconstruction of culture in the floating societies. Emma Hill explains that "other artists have retold the stories of their own family histories, translating narratives into poignant sculptural objects. Soraya Marcano's tiny paper boats in Exile are examples of the many 'books' that tell of memory and the specificity of place, without words, but in forms that are full of poetic potential."〔"A Tale of Two Cities."
