Sarah Fonseca is an Afro-Cuban American researcher and writer from the Georgia (U.S.) foothills who resides in New York City. Open source media, institutional archival access, public and community-based education, and intentional fusions of the digital and analog collectively form the bedrock of her knowledge acquisition and literary practices. This creative and critical work predominantly focuses on ameliorating the ties between feminine individuals and communities, historic and contemporary, across generations, identity categories, and borders.
Miss Fonseca has received creative training and support through public fellowships with Film at Lincoln Center and Lambda Literary Foundation. She has contributed critical writing to Film Comment magazine, Museum of the Moving Image’s Reverse Shot, and The Los Angeles Review of Books and programmed the first posthumous Barbara Hammer retrospective at NewFest Film Festival in 2019. Her short fiction has appeared in Bosie magazine, Evergreen Review, and Hobart. Miss Fonseca, a dyke, serves as a co-editor of the forthcoming short literary fiction anthology The New Lesbian Pulp (Feminist Press, 2025).
