Elizabeth (Liz) T. Vazquez is a first-generation Mexican-American artist, writer and filmmaker from Los Angeles. After briefly studying anthropology and philosophy at Moorpark College, they received their BA in Film Production with a focus on cinematography at the Arts University of Bournemouth in the UK. While continuing their creative projects and practice, they worked at various art galleries and museums. They also continued their independent research at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles where they held the title of artist-in-residence and presented their first art solo show. In 2022, they graduated from the American Film Institute Conservatory with an MFA in Screenwriting.

Liz's work often incorporates off-beat relationships between text and image while exploring "otherness.” They believe in using humor, play and playfulness as radical tools for critiquing and dismantling social constructions rooted in histories of imperialism, genocidal colonization and patriarchal, capitalist dominion. Or something like that.
