Photographer and filmmaker
▶ BIOGRAPHY
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1992 — now based in Barcelona. Ximena documents armed conflict, displacement and human rights violations at close range.
Her photographs sit between testimony and history: the aftermath of bombings in Beirut, the funerals and front lines of Ukraine, the crossings of the Mediterranean — work made to be remembered, not just seen.
Through a quiet yet powerful visual language, Ximena captures the human stories behind global crises, focusing on resilience, loss, and the lives shaped by conflict. Each frame becomes a record of moments that risk being forgotten, preserving the voices and experiences of those caught in the center of history.

Presenting Stories Beyond the Frame
The work extends beyond publication through exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions and public conversations that explore conflict, displacement, migration and humanitarian issues. These events create space for deeper engagement with the stories behind the photographs and films, bringing together audiences, journalists, academics, cultural institutions and humanitarian organizations.
From gallery exhibitions and photography festivals to university lectures and international conferences, each presentation offers context, firsthand insight and discussion around the people, places and global challenges documented over years of reporting.
