​​Paola Martínez Fiterre is a Cuban artist based in New York City. Fiterre studied at the University of Arts (ISA) in Havana until 2017. In 2019, she graduated from the International Center of Photography, having been awarded both the ICP Director’s Scholarship and the ICP New Media Grant. Her practice focuses on the representation of the female subject crossed by the experience of migration. Martínez Fiterre uses photography as a cyborg perception tool to relate and inhabit different spaces: domestic, social, and biological, in order to show, and sometimes subvert, their ideological gender significance. 

In recent years, she has participated in multiple group shows in Havana and New York, San Francisco, Bordeaux, Geneva, and Mexico City. Currently, Martínez Fiterre is exploring expanded photographic and performance practices through the study of light, analog photography, fiction, and painting. Her works are part of Houston’sMuseum of Fine Arts collection.

Paoloa’s participation  is supported by DARE-DARE.
