Photography Program Presents

The Photography Program Presents: Genesis Báez

Genesis Báez is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Born in Massachusetts, Báez grew up in both the Northeast US and Puerto Rico. Working primarily with photography, her works emerge from the temporal and fragmented experiences of living between worlds. Báez’s practice reflects on how people relate to place and each other, and where personal and collective histories merge.

Báez has exhibited her work internationally including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Huxley Parlour in London, ARCO Madrid, Yancey Richardson in New York, Ballroom Marfa, the Detroit Institute of Art, amongst others. Recent awards include a 2022 NYFA/NYSCA Fellowship in Photography, the 2022 Capricious Photo Award, and a 2023 Lighthouse Works Fellowship. Her work has recently appeared in publications such as Aperture, the British Journal of Photography, and BOMB Magazine.

Báez’s works are held in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, NY, Detroit Institute of Art, and Yale University Art Gallery. She holds an MFA in photography from the Yale School of Art, a BFA with honors from Massachusetts College of Art & Design, and is an alumna of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Báez currently teaches at Williams College.
