Lisette Poole González is a Cuban and Sicilian American photographer, writer, and filmmaker born and raised in San Francisco.
Her interdisciplinary practice interrogates the inextricable relationship between identity and place, interweaving personal and cultural narratives to examine resilience and belonging. While living in Havana, she covered U.S.-Cuba relations for international publications from 2014 to 2019.
Her first book, La paloma y la ley (Red Hook Editions, 2019) was named in TIME’s Best Photobooks — the book and 24 limited-edition prints from the project are in the permanent collection at the United States Library of Congress.
Her documentary Reggaetón Revolución was recognized by the World Press Global Talent Program. She has presented her work with Pop-Up Magazine, Internazionale a Ferrara in Italy, and Festival GABO in Colombia, among others.
She is a recipient of the National Geographic Fund for Journalists, an International Women's Media Foundation Adelante fellow, and a Jon Logan Nonfiction Fellow.
