Bio

Ecuadorian photographer and educator living in Ecuador and Spain. I am engaged in following from the image the movements of adaptation and resistance of the human being in front of social roles, the capitalism, desire, frustration and idealization; part of my work focuses on the destigmatization of bodies, neurodivergences and the lives that are marginalized for being non-normative. In some of my works I involve speculative news, elements of fiction, performance and multiple visual resources. Fabiola is a member of The Journal Collective, Como Ser Fotografa, FotoFeminas, and WomenPhotograph. She has contributed to publications in media such as The Atlantic, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Die Zeit, Reuters, among others. Her first self-published book has won awards and been a part of photography festivals in America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. She has been the winner of awards such as "National Geographic COVID-19 Emergency Grant ",  "New Generation Prize of PHM", "The Portrait of Britain in British Journal of Photography," etc. Motivated to promote the production of stories in Latin America with a decolonizing perspective, in 2017, she created AULA/school of photography, which currently focuses on creating specific programs for ethnic minorities, migrants, and trans and/or non-binary people.
