Elena Cardona is a photographer, poet, and researcher. She was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1978, and has lived in California since 2018. She assumes poetic creation as an auto-theory of memory and mourning. Her interests focus on the interstitial places between visual, verbal, and aural languages and media. In 2016, she received the Experimental Poetry Award from the Fundación Casa Nacional de las Letras de Venezuela. She co-curated the photographic exhibitions: “Caracas at three times” (2016), and “Code 64: portraits against impunity” (2018). She has exhibited in national photography salons and collective exhibitions. Learn more about her work at her website.
