Stephanie Cruz Mendez

Stephanie Cruz Mendez is a visual artist working primarily with analog photography and cyanotype. Rooted in experimentation, her practice embraces the medium’s inherent unpredictability and material exploration, making them active elements in the work. She received her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in New York, where her interest in alternative printing processes first took shape and has continued to guide the evolution of her practice.

Her recent project Fotossensível (2025) has circulated across independent print fairs, artist-run spaces, and bookstores, including both editions of the Available Works Fair in collaboration with São Paulo–based bookstore Desapê, a solo booth at La Feria Print Media Fair with NYU’s Latinx Project, a month-long installation at Cholita in Ridgewood, Queens, and distribution through Dale Zine in Miami. In 2026, she led an introductory cyanotype workshop with Photodom in Brooklyn, expanding her practice into teaching and public engagement.

Currently based in São Paulo
