Elisabeth Vasquez Hein is a mixed-race, second generation Filipina American photographic artist and writer based in Seattle, Washington. Influenced by her upbringing in disparate geographies, her work explores displacement, in-betweenness, and belonging. As the daughter of an immigrant, she seeks to understand her roots in the context of diaspora and colonization. She is a graduate of the Fine Art Photography certificate program at Photographic Center Northwest, where she exhibited her thesis project “In Skin and Spirit | Sa Balat at Espiritu.” Elisabeth’s work in community-based organizations has focused on education, language, and marginalized populations. She has volunteered her photography skills for organizations in Seattle, Chile, and Peru. Elisabeth holds a Master’s degree in Latin American Studies from the University of New Mexico.
