Kathya Maria Landeros is a Mexican-American photographer and educator. Influenced by her bi-cultural upbringing, her work of the past decade focuses on Latinx communities and the exploration of history, migration, representation and belonging.

Her research has been supported through a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship, and residencies at the Rayko Photo Center and the Center for Photography at Woodstock where she created a self-published artist book titled Verdant Land. Her photographs have been exhibited nationally, and her work is held in both private and public collections including the Figge Art Museum and Baylor University’s Institute for Oral History.

She has taught at public institutions in both Massachusetts and California and will be joining the Department of Art as an Assistant Professor at Wellesley College in the fall. She holds a graduate degree in photography from MassArt and a dual undergraduate degree in English literature and Hispanic studies from Vassar College.
