From the Bench of celeste hernández

Welcome to From the Bench, SFCB’s series of short studio tours with friends near and far. From favorite tools to works in progress, you never know what you’ll learn about from these amazing artists.

This month we’ll chat with artist celeste hernández. celeste is a trans, non-binary Mexican artist who lives and works in Tijuana, Baja California. She uses her family archive, photomontage, and analogue photography to document the act of longing. Through her practice, she witnesses the personal and social realities of the border region and explores the intersection between intimacy and memory.
