Josephine Sacabo

Josephine Sacabo was born in Laredo, TX, attended Bard College, and later lived and worked extensively in France and England. A self-taught photographer, Sacabo’s earlier work is in the photojournalistic tradition. Sacabo now employs a subjective, introspective style, using poetry as the genesis of her work. She divides her time between New Orleans and Mexico. Both places inform her work, resulting in imagery that is as dreamlike, surreal, and romantic as the places that she calls home. Sacabo’s photography was recently published in New Orleans (1970 – 2020): A Portrait of the City, and has been published in ten monographs and featured in gallery and museum exhibitions in the United States, Europe, and Mexico.
