About Artist
Federico Mejia
Colombian anthropologist, political scientist, and photographer, I’ve used photography as an ethnographic method for a decade. My work explores how spirituality, religion, and modernity reshape traditions and socio-economic landscapes. Studies in photojournalism and film—alongside somatics and contemporary dance—inform my practice. Exhibitions include Cara B at Taller Rubens (2025), “No es paisaje” at the VI Circuito Fotográfico, FUBA Medellín (2024), The Art Pop-Up (2024), and “Presencia Ausente” at Bogotá Art Week (2021). Recognition includes AP-40 American Photography winner (2024), Life Framer “Street Life” winner (2023), and Editor’s Pick in The Independent Photographer—Portraits (2024). I am a member of Colectivo BARDO and author of Art for Rebuilding: Multiple Possible Reconciliations (2020).
