Specialization in Photo-Arts: Techniques and Projects

Ofelia & Antelmo is a project created by Gabriela Martínez—designer and textile artist—in 2017 that started out as a contemporary textile art proposal presented in two formats that go hand in hand: textile art and wearable art.

Textile art is the starting point of Gabriela's process, in which she explores all her ideas for colors, textures, stitches, and effects, then seeks to bring them to life in handmade garments with wear-resistant finishes and stitches. Her main motivation is that quality prevails over quantity, and so she creates pieces that can be inherited as a form of protest at the speed at which the world moves today.

Mariela Sancari is an Argentine visual artist and photographer based in Mexico. She works mainly with photography but also other disciplines, such as performance and the creation of photobooks.

Her work has been shown in photography festivals around the world. She has taught classes and workshops on photobooks, among other topics, in Mexico, Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, the United States, Spain, India, Singapore, and Switzerland.

In 2017, she and the Centro de la Imagen team in Mexico City created FOLIO, the first public collection of photobooks in the city. It is part of the library and already has more than 500 copies in its collection, all obtained through generous donations from artists and publishers around the world.

Carine Wallauer’s work pairs experimentation with a careful application of technique to images, whether static or in motion. The Brazilian visual artist uses color as an expressive device to construct narratives as well as a research topic for her work.

Carine is also a documentalist, photography director, and photographer and has showcased her work in both individual and group expositions in Brazil, Canada, the United States, Italy, and Turkey. She has published three photography books independently and has worked on projects for big-name clients like Airbnb, KLM, Vogue, GQ, Marie Claire, Glamour, Uber, Vans, HBO, Yahoo, UOL, and Folha de SP.

Lina Botero studied Audiovisual Communication. Everything she does is mediated by her need to express. Either with the word, with the fixed or moving image, with sound or with some physical or digital format, in which a story can fit.

As a visual storyteller, she has collaborated with different digital and print media in Colombia, directed audiovisual projects, portrayed artists and festivals, and made still photography for movies and web series. At the same time, she has dedicated herself to capturing her country with her camera and keeping a diary at every moment of her life, sharing part of these records on social networks.
