Antoine d'Agata, Magnum Photographer
Antoine d'Agata was born in Marseille, France. In 1991, while living in New York, and with no photographic experience, he enrolled at the International Center of Photography where he studied with Nan Goldin and Larry Clark. Antoine d'Agata's work can be read as an exploration of contemporary violence from two distinct perspectives: The violence of the day or economic and political violence (migration, refugees, poverty and war) and the violence of the night or violence generated by social groups marginalised by poverty (survival through crime, narcotic addiction, sexual excess). For the past thirty years, Antoine d'Agata has lived and photographed all over the world. To date, he has published some fifty works. Author, photographer and filmmaker, he is a member of the Magnum Photos agency since 2004 and his work is represented by the Galerie des filles du Calvaire in Paris, Magnum Gallery in London, MEM Gallery in Tokyo, Kahmann Gallery in Amsterdam, Carles Tache Gallery in Barcelona. 
Tania Bohórquez Salinas, Artist
Visual artist and editor, Tania uses photography, video, performance and writing as her main media. Her artistic work focuses on issues of social containment and resilience of groups vulnerable to violence. As an artistic director, she is an interlocutor in editorial processes and in accompanying artists in creative processes. She considers art as a tool for social transformation and through pedagogical practices she disseminates concepts of horizontality in collaborative practices. Her most recent projects have emerged from the intersection of art and other fields of action: as the denunciation and enunciation of taboo stories, from a personal narrative that opens the dialogue in the collective; in recent years she has linked with more than 150 people, mainly women from 14 countries, who have survived the phenomenon of sexual violence, she is interested in the representations of trauma in the body and the resignification of pain in the collective space.
