Federico Rivas
I’m a Participatory Arts Facilitator & Community Photographer, dedicated to challenging migration stereotypes and stigma. Through a therapeutic, participatory approach, I empower migrants and refugees to share their stories, fostering inclusive and reflective processes. Creating safe spaces, I nurture connections, dialogue, and collective storytelling.
I collaborate with NGOs drawing on my own migrant experience to help participants feel comfortable. Passionate about evolving my community practice, I explore innovative tools to deepen engagement. I also teach analogue darkroom photography while embracing sustainable methods, with a focus on empowerment, sustainability, and climate justice.
My background and my work is based on my journey, rich with diverse experiences that shape my perspective. I am inspired to support migrant communities to thrive, showcasing their resilience share their own stories. Through my work, I aim to highlight their contributions to society and the challenge we face, creating a bridge of understanding between cultures. By sharing these narratives, I empower individuals and foster a sense of belonging, encouraging a dialogue that raises awareness of their issues and extraordinary journeys.
