Biography

Cintia Segovia Figueroa was born and raised in Mexico City, where she worked in the entertainment industry. Learning English in the U.S. as an adult gave her a unique perspective on the nuances of the language. Her photography and socially engaged approach explore themes of immigration, displacement, and bilingualism. She earned an MA from CSU-Northridge and an MFA from CSU-Long Beach. The Museum of Latin American Art and the National Immigration Law Center have collected her work, and private galleries and museums worldwide have exhibited it, including the Spartanburg Art Museum, the Torrance Art Museum, and the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. It has also been shown at the Mexican Consulate, Shanghai University, and the Autonomous University of Mexico, among many other venues.
