Zonia Zena is a visual artist and archivist born in Peru, currently based between Miami, Florida, and Lima, Peru. Trained in documentary photography at the beginning of her practice, she continues to draw on that sensibility while expanding her work into the realm of fine art. Her images move between observation and introspection, serving as a bridge into explorations of memory, presence, and the personal landscapes shaped by her migration experience and archival practice.

 

She holds a BFA in Visual Arts from New World School of the Arts/University of Florida and an MLIS with a concentration in Archives from the University of Alabama. A member of WOPHA and Women Photograph, Zonia was a Fulbright recipient in Spain. Her work has been exhibited in Miami, Santiago de Chile, and Madrid, and is held in private collections. Currently an artist-in-residence at Oolite Arts in the Live+Arts program, her practice is evolving toward a deeper dialogue between biography, memory, and the sensorial world, weaving them into visual narratives that continually expand and shift.
