PALOMA SIERRA-HERNÁNDEZ

is a writer, translator and set decorator.

​

​Drawn to drama, film and theater as tools that can prompt intercultural dialogue, she actively explores this approach through creative projects that merge dramatic writing, research, design, translation, and music.

​

Paloma's most recent projects include Home Language, a multilingual exhibit undertaken under the Dietrich Honors Fellowship Program; and research on Dark Theatre (theatre performed in darkness) with the support of the Jennings Family Brave Companions Fund.

​

Her most recent poetic play Riqueño premiered at Nuyorican Poets Cafe (2018), supported by a Puffin Foundation grant and a SURF fellowship. Her verse drama, poetry and translations have appeared in Bridge: The Bluffton University Literary Journal, Persephone’s Daughters, and Sampsonia Way.

Paloma holds a Bachelor's in Creative Writing and Drama from Carnegie Mellon.
