Martínez Poppe earned an MFA and MCP from the University of Pennsylvania, a BFA from The Cooper Union School of Art, was a studio fellow in the Whitney Independent Study Program, and a member of BFAMFAPhD. He is a member of the Pinko collective and a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Graduate Communications Design department at Pratt Institute. His work has been supported through artist residencies at Abrons Arts Center, Pratt Institute, NEW INC, SOMA Mexico, and through grants/fellowships from the The Laundromat Project, The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation, PennPraxis, and the UPenn Graduate and Professional Student Assembly.
