Diana Cuautle (b. 1994, The Bronx, NY) is a Mexican American visual artist and educator whose work moves at the intersection of documentary photography, poetic observations & supernatural grace.
She picked up her first camera at twelve - not out of ambition, but as part of a school math lesson on fractions. It was a disposable one, plastic and magic used to photograph her brother mid-swing at a piñata. The photo won a 1st place ribbon. More importantly, it opened up a window.
In 2019, she was awarded the Community Fellowship at the International Center of Photography. Since then, her work has been shown at Photo Ville, at ICP, and selected for the 2024 New York Portfolio Review. She is currently a teaching artist working with youth across New York City, including at the International Center of Photography, The Bronx Documentary Center, and Queens Museum.
She is currently based in Queens and happily lives in a house with a green door.
