Emma Puig de la Bellacasa

Spanish-Colombian anthropologist and photographer, based in Panama since 2013. She studied photography at the School of Fine Arts of Ixelles in Brussels, and pursued anthropology along with predoctoral studies in ethnopsychology and gender studies at Paris 8 and Paris 7 University. For over twenty years, she has actively collaborated with civil society organizations, feminist movements, and collectives of indigenous, Afro-descendant, migrant, and refugee women, promoting the defense of women's and girls' rights, particularly their right to live free from violence.
Throughout her professional career, she has combined her expertise as a feminist and anti-racist anthropologist with creative research through photography and video, using images as powerful tools for social transformation and community empowerment.
Deeply committed to initiatives aimed at reducing violence against girls, adolescents, and women, as well as advocating for sexual and reproductive rights, she also expresses a profound interest in environmental issues and climate change. Her work highlights how the climate crisis extends beyond environmental damage, emphasizing its significant social implications and how these intersect with diverse identities—gender, sexuality, and territoriality—with particular attention to the specific experiences of women, girls, and adolescents.
Her photographic practice is driven by a commitment to social justice, especially focusing on making visible the rights of women, girls, and historically marginalized communities. From an ethnopsychological and intersectional feminist perspective, she uses images as a tool for dialogue: a way of listening through sight and challenging dominant narratives that determine who is visible, how, and to whom. Each encounter and shared story is a mirror in which she recognizes and transforms herself. It is in the reflection of otherness that she also discovers her own fragments, unresolved questions, roots, and wounds.
Throughout her personal and professional life, she has collaborated with artists across multiple disciplines, participated in photographic exhibitions, facilitated social photography workshops aimed at women, and contributed to qualitative research and documentary productions in Latin America and the Caribbean, oriented towards social change and cultural transformation.
