Isabella Marie Garcia (she/her/ella), or Isa, as she prefers to be called, is a writer and photographer living in her native swampland of Miami, Florida, where she graduated summa cum laude with her Bachelor of Arts in English from Florida International University in 2019. She divides her time between working at LnS Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Coconut Grove, as an associate / artist liaison and as a freelance arts and culture writer whose written for publications such as The Miami New Times, The Art Newspaper, and So To Speak: A feminist journal of language and art. In a period that is so inherently self-reflective, her work incorporates both an internal and external form of psychogeography, keen on investigating sexuality, the queer experience, and the impact of systemic constraints on the expression of the self, as she hopes she can help challenge even just one individual to see how important intersectionality is within our world and one’s own local community.
In the last book she published while alive, Shifting The Silence, writer and multi-disciplinary artist Etel Adnan declares: “I am not in a hurry to live, I am not in a hurry to die; I am just talking to you.”
