Colombian, photojournalist, with emphasis in Historical Memory, focused on social projects with communities’ victims of the Colombian Armed Conflict (forced disappearance), teacher, and researcher. Master in Socio-spatial Studies. My photographic work on the war in Colombia is permanently exhibited at the Museo Casa de la Memoria and Museo de Antioquia. I carry out a work of artistic experience in the reflection on Human Rights, women and social conflicts and family. 

For three decades, I travelled across my country, capturing the pain of victims and documenting the horrors of war. I began to lead memory workshops in order to narrate through photography the lives of those who disappeared. As a visual artist I have developed a project that narrates the resistance of the face of pain, oblivion, and exile, with photography, “AL SOL AL VIENTO”. This photographic project is sublimated on textile, to create works in which women are remembered, their work, the delicacy of the clothes, and those who wear them.
