Supported by the Dorothy Lemelson Foundation, The Portland Small Press and Art Book Fair welcomes Martha Naranjo Sandoval, a Brooklyn-based visual artist, photographer, and publisher from Mexico City, to talk about her work and what inspires her.
Martha Naranjo Sandoval’s work focuses on the family album as a means of creating community around photography. She holds a degree in Film from Centro de Diseño, Cine y Televisión in Mexico City, and an MFA from the International Center of Photography and Bard College.
In 2023, she presented the solo exhibition The Stench of Orange Blossoms at Miriam Gallery, and in 2024, Flowering Wound at Baxter Street Camera Club of New York as part of their Artist-In-Residency program. Her monograph Small Death, published by MACK, was shortlisted for the 2025 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook First PhotoBook Award. One of her pieces was included in the landmark exhibition “The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition” at the Brooklyn Museum.
She is the founder and director of the editorial project Matarile Ediciones, which publishes work by artists who are immigrants or part of a recent diaspora.
