Ivette Diaz is a Latinx cultural worker born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA. Her personal experience as a first generation student, and woman of color with an interest in the visual arts led her to pursue a B.A. in Art History and Ethnic Studies from CSU East Bay, where her work focused on the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality within the contemporary art world.
She is the Curatorial Programs Manager at Galería de la Raza where she continues to foster appreciation for community arts and raise awareness on its importance in creative placekeeping and community development.
