Genesis Báez:
Genesis Báez is an artist living in Brooklyn, NY. Her debut monograph, "Blue Sun", was published with Capricious Publishing in 2025 as part of their photography award. "Blue Sun" spans a decade of photographic work made in Puerto Rico and its diaspora. Oscillating between geographies, these works are meditations on time and placemaking through images of matriarchal kinship, the elemental, and sensorial. Báez holds an MFA in photography from the Yale School of Art, and has exhibited internationally. Her works are found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Detroit Institute of Art, among others. Báez is from Massachusetts, where she also works as a professor of photography.
