Art History PH.D. Student wins the prestigious Crossing Latinidades Mellon Fellowship Award
Jeannette Martinez is a second-year Ph.D. student in the art history program at The University of New Mexico. Being of the Central American diaspora greatly influenced her interests in contemporary U.S. Latinx art. While this is Jeannette’s area of discipline, her research interests are on migrations, transnationalisms, landscape, memory, feminisms, processes of identity, and decolonial art histories. She researches, writes, and curates on the Central American diaspora by engaging with contemporary artists that navigate it. Jeannette’s main goal through academia and curatorial practices is to make known the stories of communities that have been marginalized and erased. As a Crossing Latinidades Fellow, Jeannette will participate in conducting archival research, oral history interviews, documenting previously unstudied artworks; hosting a major symposium; and organizing a significant peer-reviewed journal publication. These projects sets foundations for new methodologies and theories in Latinx Humanities grounded in art history, creating possibilities for future cross-disciplinary exchanges.”
