Photographer
Ruby Gonzalez Hernandez is an Indigenous Zapotec artist and curator born on Quinnipiac land. As a lens-based artist, she uses photography as a tool in printmaking, woodworking, and other media to dissect and find language for: oppression affecting BIPOC, religious exploitation, spiritual salvation, redemption, and more. She is passionate about work that serves the New Haven community, grassroots arts ecology, and she currently runs an annual international print exchange called Lunch Money Print. Ruby’s work has been supported and recognized by Doran AIR CT Fellowship, and the NBA. She organizes exhibitions concerning themes and ideas surrounding community solidarity and empowerment. Ruby is currently working towards an exhibition for the Yale Doran Artist in residence program, opening at Artspace in May 2022.
