creativity/imagination & technology

I was born in Havana, Cuba, grew up in Puerto Rico and live in the US since 1978. I received a B.F.A. in Photography from the Philadelphia College of Art and an M.F.A. from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. I am an artist who works with innovative, non-traditional photographic media, and have exhibited extensively in the United States and abroad. I am the recipient of a Cintas Fellowship; a National Endowment for the Arts award; and a Fulbright-Hays Grant, among others.

I recently received my PhD for my dissertation, "An Intersectional Reading of Gender & Technology." My thesis deconstructs a gender-technology story in education and policy that focuses on women's underrepresentation in computing and argues that this concern masks the ways that women-gender are co-opted as a kind of mediator in managing our societal anxieties over technological progress.
